didn't even scuff the plasti-dip. awesome stuff right there

Curb/pothole? Sidewalls take a lot of stress and even a little bit of missing sidewall can cause a failure over time. Might have even been a tire bubble that just popped. Either way the only thing for sure is you need a new tire =P

Not to make a bad situation worse, but the low tire pressure light came on and you continued to drive another 5 minutes?

Yeah..just like any normal person would. I really thought the tire just needed air, which is the case 99% of the time. I couldn't have possibly assumed that I had a hole the size of a 9mm bullet! I didn't feel nothing, I didn't see nothing.

Yeah bro...no doubt.


Hell yeah 10 points for plastidip!


I suppose anything is possible. But yeah new tire hahaha

It did. :stirthepot:

SNIPERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!


:tiphat:

I certainly would not have pulled off immediately to change the tire either. I take a wait and see approach as you did.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but really though, given that I didn't SEE what caused this nor did I feel anything...I simply figured low air.

And presto...they got me bro..

ive actually seen a tires sidewall blow out so smooth it looked like it was done by a surgeon. the hole was 3 or 4 inches long and about 2 inches wide. unreal. driver said it was a pothole.

No sarcasm here. To pull over the second the sensor goes off is not happening. Watch and wait. If I hit a pothole I am not heading directly to an alignment shop either, unless I felt something amiss.

damn, was someone using your wheels for target practice?

:iagree:

Hahaha seriously bro! Whoever he was he's a good shot that's for sure..haha

Craziest thing I ever saw was a biker came to the shop complaining he had to keep filling his tire up every few days. Took the tire off the front wheel and out popped a wood splinter 7 inches long and at the base as thick as a dime. How he didn't have a dime size hole in the tire, we'll never know! Crazy that tire didn't blow and kill him.
