[AlexS]

Sh1t! Did you lose all steering? Is the rim damaged?

 

[Nigel]

Blimey! I take it was at speed then? Any damage to rim?

 

[Dooby]

Dont know how but wheel is not damaged at all, going down tyre company to get it checked out and a loan one put on as new exalto will be a few days.
It didnt make a bang like you would normally get with a blow out.
The tyre has spilt on the seam as if stiching has come undone all the way around.
Going to write to michelin and get it checked out as could be a fault.
Just lucky i controlled it ok as could of been bad.

[alexbleubolt]

what tyre pressure's do you have in your other tyres ? also have you inspected the tyre for any punctures, as if its got no pressure in it this can happen ?

 

[adamRS]

Nasty stuff, could of been so much worse. Glad you're ok. Hope the rim aint damaged

Run 33 in the back and 31 in the front and check them quite often ... There was no sign of a puncture.
