On I-495 north towards Rt. 66 exit, past Rt. 50. ON the side of the rode was a nice black SC staggered 19" riding low. Looks like you was broke down, because you and someone else was standing outside the car on the highway. Wanted to help but was in the wrong lane and spotted you to late. This was between 12:30-1:30pm today, June 5th.

lol got me. New Falken 452 tires mounted to my Euroline DH's. The front passenger side blew out. The tire completely failed and I had to mount a spare. I had the tires mounted for about a whole 20 minutes. I was on my way from Alexandria to Tysons.

Fronts = 215/35's on 8.5's with 25mm spacer. The car started pulling hard to the left then boom, inner tire wall completely tore through. It was brand new. Not sure what I'm going to do next. This is my DD so I need to mount all four stock wheels and decide if I want to order 225's in the front. I'm currently running 235's on my 9.5's in the rear but the ride just seemed horrible. I really want to sell all four...now three tires and get 40's. The 35 Falkens are just too extreme for stretch/comfort/reliability for a daily driver

Ahh Man, sorry to hear that, the car is sweet though. But driving with that extreme setup in this area and you are asking for trouble. Hell my GS 19s was completely ate by a Beltway pothole. Starting to drive the truck more just because of the road conditions around here.

If he had a dual exhaust then it's the kid from KBCC. I drove by him a few days ago and told him to visit CL

I'm pretty sure it's this guy:


His screenname is 06~ULTRA and the Liberty meet last year was his first meet. I guess he knew you were capturing his car since he moved one lane closer to you.
