Reason: descriptive title
25mph 360 spin! yeah you might have been going faster if you spun around. sorry to hear!
as for the tire, if the CHP officer said it's a city hazard that meant there was probably a pothole or void you hit that caused the tire to pop and made you spin. i hope you were able to get a report from the officer to be able to use it in court or other evidence. you can also take pictures of the actual thing you hit and use it as well. good luck!

I think I just saw your car on Craigslist while searching for a part. That sure doesn't look like 25MPH damage to me.
In all fairness, if he was going around an on ramp, they tend to have a fairly tight radius. If he hit a pothole and his REAR tire blew, I could see how that would send him in a 360 spin. Also, Have you seen the damage that a 25mph crash test will do to a car?! Go to YouTube and watch some crash tests. The amount of damage in that Craigslist ad IS plausible for a head on 25mph hit.
