FML..RIP rear right tire

Codename067 · 04-14-2014, 04:57 PM

This was yesterday morning, I was heading to work on the 405 doing 80... and a warning pops up on the display "Low tire pressure".

I figured ok when I stop I'll take a look, maybe needs more air...within 5 minutes...car starts to shake slowly....and so quickly CHUB CHUB CHUB CHUB CHUB CHUB -___-

I was forced to drive maybe 3/4 of a mile till I was able to pull up to a safe area and slap on the spare. here are the results:

Must've ran over something..

coolvans1988 · 04-14-2014, 05:22 PM

i was on the 405 this weekend, i averaged about 100 miles.

The rim has no damage?

black_sedan · 04-14-2014, 06:43 PM

is the fender damaged? I see a black ring around the wheel well and that make me cringe.

Not where the rim is visible [what I can see]. The wheel is still on the rim.
Taking it tomorrow for a tire replacement. But the rim does look ok.

That's from the wheel rubbing on the fender...should be able to take that off with no problem.

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
