Sorry to hear about it. Aside from the shreaded tire, were you able to see any other visible damage? Was it too dark to throw the spare on?

From the sounds of it, you may have damaged the rim along with the tire...you really won't know what else is damaged until you get the wheel off and look around.

Ya know, it dont get any worse, on the way down this morning to get new tires , The freaking front driver side tire blows out on the way down <this is my friends car>, i mean wtf..... its -500C out and iam changing a tire on the side of a busy highway..... so finally i got my car in the shop and the rim is bent abit but not too bad to drive the guy said, i ended up getting Hankook optima 418s tires for $171.60 installed , they will do for now, its hard living paycheck to paycheck.
