Ideally, you don't discover your car tire looks like this when you're 500km from home...
@cm Woah. Hope it all goes well, then. That tire almost looks like a shredded racing slick.
@cm Glad to hear all is well and you got back safely. At autobahn speeds a violent tire explosion could be really quite frightening!
@Surasanji yup, especially as the unlimited parts ofthat autobahn are rather narrow and curvy, see https://youtu.be/ErkO_RJ_x3U?t=170 , and I might have run 180 kph or more, traffic permitting...
@Surasanji All went well, I'm back home -- had a tire shop recommended to me by a local friend, so 1.5 hrs and a reasonable amount of money later I was on my way with new front tires.
This probably was caused by the recently changed front suspension stuff (or rather the old, broken stuff), but it was on the inner side, only visible with wheels turned to the extreme. Luckily I saw it before heading back to the german autobahn -- I've never had a tire explode on me and I like to keep it that way!
