+1! on having a dollar bill save the day. My tire is kevlar belted with tire liners AND Slime!
So the tire separated from the bead and BLEW OUT BIGTIME!
I wrapped the $1 billa round the bead and it held all the way back to the car. (8 miles and 1,400 foot descent) Granted I only ran about 35 psi to keep lightning from striking again!
