One of my tires separated when I was traveling at 80 MPH on the interstate.

I suspect it will be about $2500 in repairs

 

That stinks man! Keep us updated on how the repair goes...

 

The tire in this picture has a sticker sill on it. Are they new? If so, hopefully you can contact the manufacture and hope they are willing to help pay for the damages?

I can't tell the extent of the damage, but it doesn't look good.

 

It's fairly bad, and the tire was a few years old. The items I can tell that are damaged/broken are, bumper cover, fender, wheel liner, mud flap, door cladding, rubber piece at the bottom of the door, corner light, and probably the most difficult area to repair, the area where the fender meets the sub-frame looks like it was pounded in with a sledge hammer. That is just what I can see for now.

FYI: for those of you who don't check the spare tire (like me), please do. I had the tire changed out in like 10 minutes, only to find out the spare was low on air pressure. As soon as I lowered the car back down, the tire looked half flat. I had to wait 1.5 hours for AAA to bring a compressor.

 

I wonder if some tire tread out on the road or something else small came in contact with it.
