Warren,
Enjoy the ride. I am really starting to get envious of you and your weather plus you have a car. I guess it is time for me to contact the Mt. Shasta Goddess about your area and see if something can't be done.
As for the tire, I was only doing about 20 MPH when it exploded as I was in bumper to bumper traffic. If I could have gotten right off the street I don't think the wheel would have been hurt, but it sure blew the valve stem out of the wheel.
