"The Limp Back" is no fun at all. I had a similar incident last winter. I had the blade on my 125 and was pushing back the snowbanks around my mailbox, when suddenly there was a loud hiss and a drop to the right. on of my original tires "unzipped" where the sidewall meets the tread. the real excitement was I was now blocking a lane on a 50 mph road! I was able to limp onto my driveway but couldn't get past the apron. I ended up running and stealing a tire off my 72. then I was able to slip-slide my way back up the hill to the shed and return the tire to its rightful owner. I was planning to replace the tires in the spring, but necessity moved that purchase ahead a few months for me. Live and learn!
