I'm not typically too worried about head on collisions like this when I'm driving equipment. People usually slow down when they see large equipment taking up both lanes of the road heading towards them. I'm more worried about someone trying to pass me at an intersection while I'm making a left turn.
Thanks dr science but the rear tire blew because of a shearing force. The rear end of the combine probably bounced sideways and pulled the bead off the rim of the low pressure tire. You could drop that tire of a building and it would just bounce.
