after posting about my stock toyo tires in the other thread, i blew one out today on the northern state goin to school.. this thing is absolutely shredded.. no damage to the rim tho, and i had a Mavis by me order a new one which should be here within the hour..the thing was smoking when i got out of the car to check it

i didn't know our donuts were yokohama's.. weird..

 

Glad you weren't driving fast while this happened... good to hear no one was hurt also.

 

If it was one of the fronts it could be very dangoures, you loose control of the wheel and bang.
If it was one of the rear tires it wouldn't be that dangoures.

 

What happened to the tire that it shredded?

 

it was the passanger side rear tire

I honestly have no clue what i hit to do it.. but along the sidewall there were like 2 or 3 equally distant gashes

My only guess is that i must have hit something while going through a construction zone, because it was a little while after that when i noticed the car pulling and then heard the flapping of the tire.. and since i was going through construction, i was going slow, so if i had been going fast i would have noticed it quicker

since i was going slow it took a little more time for me to notice..
