Just don't brake. On a 10-mile downhill stretch, assuming no traffic, you'll have no problems at all for 99.999% of the ride.

This it the tyre after I repaired the tube.

Hadn't realised that the tyre had also split until I pumped it up.

It's a moot point now as I'm going to put this one down to user error. View attachment 368279

I had a blowout just like that on a M+ tyre that had less than 100 miles on it, and it happened while the bike was locked in the bike shed at work.

I returned it as faulty and got a new replacement after a week or so (German retailer online).

Same thing happened to me - pumped up the tyre yesterday without any apparent problem, went to use it this morning, only to find the tyre was flat with the sidewall blown out.
