Earlier this week I was sat in the office and heard a huge bang from the car park.
It turned out my rear tyre had exploded whilst stood in the sun!
The tyre must have popped off the rim, rather than exploding, beacause I've replaced the tube and am now reusing the tyre. The bead on the tyre is clearly a little stretched but has not popped off since.
The tyre blew off at 75psi (tyre says max. 85psi)
Am now running at 55-60psi but its noticeably slower to ride
Tyre was a Schwalbe Marathon Pro
