Have you ever had a blowout in a car? They don't happen like that.
Besides, you're not making this statement to everyone else who has an elevated risk factor - tires are more likely to fail as they age, tires are more likely to fail when they're not properly inflated, or etc. Why single me out? Go lecure the stancenation crowd about their risk factors. Additionally, I carry very good insurance and I drive a lighter car. From a utilitarian perspective, you'd be better off checking truck tires.
I'd rather have my tires than 10 year old Goodyears. In fact, I got my tires because one of my 10 year old tires blew out. My car is safer now than it was prior to installing the Chinese tires.
Are we seriously tire-shaming people on here now? That can happen with any tire, any time, anywhere. And people have blowouts on the freeway all the time it doesn't send you flying into oncoming traffic.
