Doing a little skid/skip at a red I heard a sharp pop accompanied by a jolt from my rear wheel and immediately realised I'd gone right through my tire and burst the tube. I didn't even wobble but it was a bit of an oh shit moment as it was the first skid I'd done on that tire since yesterday, when I twice had to avoid insane drivers trying to kill me while moving at speed. I would have done more than wobble if it had gone then.
