As long as you are not driving a ford explorer and don't panic you will be fine.

Years before that I had 3 firestone tires tread seperate on me at varrious speeds at different times.
Hm, Thanks. There's a lot that I don't know, Though I still think I'd feel better about having a blowout at or under a speed limit than over it.
