  I was driving down TPE (SLE) from airport as I just picked up my brother from overseas.
  Halfway while driving along TPE...air-con suddenly not cold. then..."Bang!".
  Tot tyre burst, but car still moving fine. Saw water spraying on front windscreen. Shittttt! radiator problem.
  Stopped by side, open the bonnet. Large rubber tube from radiator to engine burst.
  Just top up water into radiator this afternoon. Radiatior reservoir still got water too.
  
  Is it some tube or trunking in the radiator system stuck?

  Check your radiator for blockage ... if there is ... flush it ...

  maybe there is only a small hole which are not visible at cold temp. But once water get heated up it expanded and thus the water gas releases.
  
  What is ur car model?
