I believe slowing down without braking may be the pearl of the whole discussion. Videos show blow out not even resulting in turning of the vehicle after blow out with tyron but how quickly they applied brakes is not obvious.
I lost a rod at 3/4 track at Indy time trial. Took out left front Moroso tire. Slowed without braking hard and it went straight. Tried to brake it wanted to go to guard rail. Crossed the finish line 114 on blown tire. Tire was not off the rim. Lucky.....
I will post later about dealer for the Tyron close by....

There was nothing much left of the tire once I got it stopped. The entire tread was off and hot much left of the sidewalks. I got it stopped quickly and the wheel was not damaged. I was driving through a construction zone so I could have run over something that damaged the tire. It gave no advance notice that anything was going wrong just a loud boom and the front end dropped.
