Sometimes it happens when only one tire burst out. You can still escape. But when two tires burst, you chances are little, unless you're on an AWD cars, because their front wheel operate as well. It happened to me once when I ran towards the spike at high speed on a highway in my Mustang, and only 1 cop was on my tail. I evaded him with 2 tires burst out without throttling. :)

By the way, there's a main thread for all this right <a href="http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewtopic ... 4">here</a>. :)

Persolnally, I think that if I had those cars, and if I runned the streets under such circumsatances, I would use "run flat" tires. I mean, if you know you might get followed by the police, and that they are going to lay pike strips in the middle of the road....

Yeah, Michelin has already made such a tire, expensive but in the end - quite more than worth it.

I would also have a car that changed colors depending on sun and position (Chamealon i think?) and also reverting license plates and vins.

I'm not trying to impose or support running from the police but just explaining what I would do under the circumstances. These people you see in LA running from the cops in dodge caravans shouldn't be alive.
