My wife and I were traveling from Birmingham AL to Los Angeles CA (including a quick stopover in San Antonio TX) when on a Saturday afternoon my right rear tire completely exploded while at top speed on I-10. After limping off I-10, chatting with the NM State Trooper, and driving up the entry ramp, I wandering through the truck stop seeking help. A truck repair guy told me he couldn't help but pointed me down the curvy road into the neighborhood where I found Franklin Tire Shop. Well, thinking I was in a bad spot and wondering if it was just going to get worse, somewhere in a pile of used tires they found a used low-profile tire to fit my MBZ E500.
