another case where you can ruin a tire without a blowout is get a nail in it at highway speed and by the time you realize someting is wrong your tire has overheated and started seperating... happened to me on the interstate, right rear tire on a front drive car, never gave any clue anything was wrong until it was too late..that tire had 3,000 miles on it..taking care of your tires will NOT prevent a situation where you may need a spare to get home...if I had had the tire pressure sensors though it would have warned me before the tire was runied and I could have used the pump and sealant and gotten home.
