Brad there is no question that you had a low tire and did not know it. I had the same thing happen to me last month. I started off, got on the freeway, noticed my car was pulling when I accelerated a little. I suspected I had a low tire, and would check it out when I arrived at my destination. Well all the sudden it started as you say you're car did. I infact was driving with a tire that had 5 or 10 pounds air in it at the most. I nearly ruined the rim and was on the worst part of the freeway at one in the morning. I now have the Smart tire System, and will never own a car without it. The funny thing is, you can't just look at these tires and tell they are low, not to mention the car drives pretty good all the way down to probably 10 pounds of pressure. Well it now takes me 2 seconds to check all four tires in the car. I would say you're tire temp got up to 250 or more right before this happen. The Smart Tire system moniters the temp also. There is so much bad about something like this happening that ya just can't imagine it until it happen's. I just bought a new cell phone and it came with roadside *** . I used it since I didn't know what all was involved in changing the tire. They were out there in 15 minutes and took care of me. I had to have a friend come pick up the spare and put it in his truck. It would have took me two hours to clean all that crumbly and powdered rubber out of the car. At least with a Smart Tire System you can see how fast it is leaking down and get to where you are going, or find a good place to pull over. Got the rim repaired for $100.00, lucky on that one. All in all it cost me $500.00 in damage. Get a Smart Tire system as quick as posable.
