Went out to check. Yup. Flat tire alright.

She should stick to riding horses.

Had to drive on it some distance to destroy it so completely.

Not really. These low profile radials pretty much self destruct when
the belt separates. The one I had, looked like that in about a mile
maybe less. It was enough time to slow down from about 85, cross 3
lanes of traffic and get to the right shoulder. (the left side was a
death trap if I stopped there, concrete barrier and a narrow
shoulder.)
