I had a close call this morning. My rear tire had developed a pronounced wump-wump-wump yesterday, and today it blew out about 15 seconds AFTER I arrived at work, after riding through moderate NYC traffic.
It was a kevlar belted Primo Comet, 85 psi, with a little less than 500 miles on it; I only put it on the bike in March!
