Default 2:10am and my tire blew

I was a block away from home till the tire blew. I figured to ride 3mph till it was safe to do it in my garage. Next thing I know it was riding rim inside, camber was bad and ate up my tires inside which was the cause of blowing out. I stopped aside to prevent further road rash of the inner rim.



Had to call AAA hoping they had a low-pro jack cause factory OEM jack couldn't fit underneath. Even with low-pro jack couldn't fit so luckily the guy had a pair of 6x6s to roll on to finally put a jack underneath. Even if you can do these things by yourself, it's always best to call for assistance for safety and to speed up the process.

Time to find me a pair of toyos tomorrow. Figured to share some pics and share the experience. Lol

ouch, hate to see those time attacks get rashed :X

I had the same issue when my tire popped; but had the gs towed home. The sidewall on the tire blew out. Now if only the tire shop didnt wreck the wheels removing the tires...

That's why I love forged monoblocks, they take a beating. Yeah man it's an experience, just got new proxes in the rear now. Test pipes are my next goal after smog check. After that I'm done modding, got a CLK320 to restore. Till now I'm back in business. Thanks for the response.

Yo LoveThatV8, a bit off topic but what lip are you sporting? Looks damn good.

Enjoy the new rubber.
