I had to stop on the road and change into a spare. Never realized how heavy a spare tire was. Now I need new tires. Things like these always happens after your drained after the holidays.

Ouch, glad you are ok. Question: what kinda tire was it? Was there any prior warnings?

Thanks,

It was a cheap *** kelly tires.

Nope, I didnt get it because it was cheap. I paid over 450 bucks for those. I dont think there was any prior warnings. Good thing it didnt happen on the way back home, because I travel on a highway.

But the thing is, couple days ago, I ran through some heavy shattered glass pieces. there must have been an accident. Maybe that's why my tire popped. But It was time to get new tires anyway, so it doesnt matter. These kelly tires have horrible wet traction. As I said before, these tires slip on early morning dews. I'm serious.
