30 Blowout
I just want to say to all those doubters..... My XM saved my life the other day. I had an almighty blowout
on the motorway, I was probably doing in the region of 85-90mph when the car suddenly jinked to the
left. I immediately guessed that a tyre had suffered a sudden deflation. The thing is, once I had
straightened the swerve, the car was easily controllable for me to stop gently. The XM travelled straight
and turned, when I gently steered. Very impressive. What is more impressive is the fact that all that was
left of my drivers’ side front tyre was a couple of strips of rubber.... there was nothing resembling a tyre
left. So effectively the car was running on an alloy rim as it came to a stop.
Thankyou Citroen
============= I had a flat in my XM on the way to take my kid to the childminder afew months ago.
The thing must’ve been flat overnight (rear nearside). I didn’t even notice for three miles until I went to
get back into the car and noticed it as I went past. Yeah pretty good.
