You don't want to try it in a M3A1 White Scout Car.
We were going to a show in Canberra (Australia's Capital City) in 2004 with a loaded 1 ton trailer on behind. On a down hill run, trying to make a bit of time, we blew out the right hand rear tyre. At that time we were doing about 60mph and going around a left-hand bend. Fortunately, my driver training and experience came to play and we stopped safely. The biggest problem then was how to lift the spare back onto its mount. As luck would have it, a passing truck driver stopped and helped lift the tyre to it mount.
Not something that I want to experience again.
