I was chatting with a tech in a local bike shop a couple of days ago and asked him whether he'd ever had a tire explode. He said no, but that from time to time one of the bikes on display in his large downtown (Washington D.C.) store will randomly detonate, typically at night when he's alone in the shop. That'd certainly wake him up. Kevin
