My tyres are quite old. It is very important to be alert and listening for any changes in noise as the car is driving along. Any sudden increase in noise level can mean a tyre is about to blow. It happened to me once in an old BMW I was able to stop and change the wheel. I heard a sudden noise increase in my Valiant and stopped. All was ok, it was just a change in road surface. Better safe than sorry.
