i had a tire blow out.
 

ok guys u know the deal . on the highway keeping up with traffic then pow ur front tire goes. but i was in the fast lane and ppl were not happy about letting me over . anyways i made it over and changed 4 tires on my own (thx spike) then i went home beat tired . here's a few pics of the aftermath.


on a side note i need a new or newish Michelin x radial 185/65/14 so if u have 1 or maybe 2 or know where i can get 1 post up a link or a phone number .

that sux dood...

excuse to get some wicked tires???

thinking about it hard right now lol

well if you looking, i just got some falken rt-615 put a month ago at tire23.... awesome summer tires, loads of traction

ya i am looking at those tires. still not sure what i am going to do. i know i want wheels so who knows what will happen in the next few days. but it ould still be nice to get this set up and running so at least next winter i can slap them on .

get some aftermarket rims and tires.

just out of curiousty, what tire pressure did you have those tires at?

32 psi just checked on monday

bad omen..

get new RT-615s and some volks to remedy this situation.

i found a tire for s super high price of 40 bucks but luckily when i got there to pick it up it was almost identical to my other tires so i left not feeling too bad about it all . and on the bright side i got to Cruz across Mississauga today in the most beautiful day of the year so far. theres always a silver lining.

Dude, at least your local....heres my tale......

4 months ago i decided to take a trip to milwaukee to visit my cuz (12hr ride) That week i been getting my car ready for the trip, oil changed, cleaned, washed, added air to the 17's w/low pros....left sauga at 10:00pm and got to alittle past kitchener and POW...i was like wtffff...pulled over to see the tires on my rims gone...only leaving the side walls (SPIKE YOU SEEN THEM) so here iam 2 hrs aways from where i left and 3 hrs away from my parents in newmarket. my car was slammed to the ground with body kit, so even if i have the tools to take that rims off and put the donut on i don't think i could of used it. the kit would scrape the road. luckily i had CAA (EVERYONE GET IT-80 for a year 4 times road side assist each time up to 200kms) so i requested for a flat bed only and was told the wait was going to be 1hr..fine, i aint going nowhere...1hr passes and im like ok...so i call back and they say "where are you" the driver is looking for you and he can't find you...i say im on the 401 heading to london but i didn't know where i was, no signs no lights pitch dark booney land...so i wait, driver the calls me questioning me if im sure im not heading east. (toronto) i was getting vranky but wno am i to give lip, im the one need the help,...so i wait....and wait...finally he gets there and puts me on, and i ask if from there to newmarket was under 200k and he goes he's not sure its pretty close (over 200k is $3 per km) so whatever we go and i reach newmarket at 4am and i was exactly 189km....FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....then i take a power nap slap on my winters to then realized that one of the tires has a nail (no wonder why that tire always gets low) so then i wait for a near by shop to open at 9am, go there and get them to plug it..came home slapped it on and............................i was in milwaukee at 12am that night......however i got me some ass and drove my cuz 2005 NSX, 95 SUPRA 1200hp and his new LEXUS ISF..........yep!!!!

nice at least u got some i was only heading to a meet.

but i feel for yeah dude....sucks putting money into these things. i got like 3 sets of rims if you want to choose from.

hang in there...if coulda been worst!!!!
coulda got caught going 50 over and get inpounded!!!

i wont get caught doing 50+ over if i ever had to go that fast on the street it would have to be a good reason and then i wouldnt be stopping .

if u have light (10-14), small (14-15)wheels that are cheep(under500) send me some pics . sooner or later i will be buying track wheels and tires.

lol...........i have acura turtle rims w/winters
i guess that doesn't help!

lol nope but thx

damn that sucks man, glad your ok and didnt cause an accident...

Werd... I seen a tire blow out on the highway b4 it's pretty scary from an outsider's point of view. I can only imagine how it was like from the inside.:eek:

^^its actually not that bad... when you blow a tire, its not like the tire rips apart and you're rolling on rims...


the tire usually takes a while to deflate, enough for you to make it to the shoulder and change the flat

ya if it happens to be calm grab the wheel and man handle it over to the right side of the road.dont forget your 4 ways .

hey bumdart don't forget to do the dyi for roadside tire change! u idiot

Nono.... I've seen a tire "blow up"....the guy was riding on his rim, sparks and all.....

dammmme

^ lmfao nice nick name

what was the year that tire was manufactured? i'm curious.. i'm rollin' on rubber that's 8 years old and i'm sketchin about them lol... glad you didn't crash man..

thats too bad, good thing you did not damage the quarter panel
