But that lets you know to slow down because something is wrong. And I've also had blowouts that result in sudden loss of pressure too. None where a issue even when at speed.
This assertion is so different from my own experience I have to wonder what your definition of "speed" is? I've had a couple blowouts over 30 mph, and those were memorable, to say the least.
