Default !~The Blow out Thread~!
So ive had 4 blow outs in the last year and a half, luckily no bent rims or spin outs, for some reason, my car wobbles left to right I automatically know to pull over.
this is my most recent one, both of my rears blew out in the last 3 weeks!


And this is how it Sits now, I just bought new tires for the front

stretched tyres dont cause blowouts, had mine for a while, i think it mainly depends on the brand of the tyre driving conditions, weather etc

Not true, and all other things mentioned only add to the stress of the sidewall.

your toe doesn't seem to be too aggressive from those pictures. excessive toe would look like a sharp transition from tread to no tread, not a smooth transition from tread to some tread to almost no tread. the point of lesion is closer to a sidewall failure.

what kind and size of tires are you using on what width of the rim? what psi are you running?
