Doughnuts...Not Just A Food...

So I've been driving around for a week or so with my rear tire going flat. I fill it up almost daily and it still leaks. Anthony patched it and we thought that the patch would be a solution. Well last night after grocery shopping we went by to put a little more air in the tire. As Anthony was filling it up I noticed that it looked like big bubbles were moving around in the tire. I asked Anthony what it was and he said "Just get away from it." About 5 seconds later the tire blew up. Well, it wasn't quite as dramatic as that just sounded, but a big hole appeared. So...I am now driving around on a "doughnut" tire until this afternoon when they will put my new, shinny tire on the car. Maybe I will take some pictures when I get home.
