This was my experience with a driver's side front tire blow out....happened in May of 2008 about 90 miles west of Mesa, AZ on I-10. I heard the explosion....did not hit the brakes, but just got control and slowly steered to the shoulder. The coach did move to the left into the #1 lane about 5 feet before I regained control. No one near me at the time. No rim damage at all! Good Sam ERS sent a guy out from Mesa, AZ with a replacement tire. I only paid for the tire. He changed the tire without removing the rim. Took less than 30 minutes after he arrived, and we were on our way. I was going 60 mph at the time of the blow out.
