Back in the day, I was zooming along the Tomei Expressway.
A “pop!” sound reached my ears.
I didn’t notice anything unusual with the cars around me.
What was that?
Oh, we’re getting close to Ebina soon.
I was thinking the road gets rough after this point.
Surely it wasn’t me?
I moved to the left lane and did a gentle weave within it.
Hmm? It felt heavy, or maybe it was just my imagination.
Just to be sure, I tried weaving again, and I thought, “The handling feels a bit heavier than before?”
I stopped at Ebina just in case and headed straight to a gas station, and when I pulled in…
The rear tire was already completely flat. The tire had split about 30 millimeters.
That “pop!” sound was something piercing the tire.
When I think about what would have happened if I hadn’t noticed and kept speeding along, I get chills.
Something distant must have sent me a warning signal, beeping away.
The tire was almost brand new, but it became garbage in an instant (;∀;)
I think it was a Lensport if I remember right~ Please be careful out there too (*´▽`*)
