Back in the stone ages of the 1970s when I was autocrossing my 914 a lot the "hot" tire was a the Michelin XWX. The only Michelin dealer in Montgomery, AL that would order the XWX was a truck repair shop. I was there when one of the truck tires exploded in a cage and I thought a bomb had gone off. That tire destroyed the cage and no one was hurt but a lot of underwear was ruined.
My dad talked about a tire for a C-124 that exploded as they tried to air it up. It killed several airmen and destroyed the entire hangar.
