Sorry to see this happen to you. But I'm assuming that you were stretching your tires out right? It looks like the beads popped out and the sidewall collapse.

Oh and to the person that was wondering what happens, my car only usually sees just 405S->N action pretty much from the 405/605 interchange to the 405/105

CA is like a yellow brick road compared to Minnesota. Sorry to hear about your tire.

Hey look on the bright side... You didnt crush your rims like I did Hey, maybe that will fall under road hazard?! Never hurts to ask, you can save some $$ on a new tire good luck.
