I heard a loud pop and drove another 100 yards to my sons house and the tire went flat within one minute. It has steel bands sticking out of a split in the tire. It has a dip in the tread and sidewall where the steel band has broke. The tire is not cut it is split. This was one of two on the rear, the other is still on. I have the tire./ I put on the spare, and came home.
