Angry this blows...

well, was pulling out the gas station the other and my car felt a little weird and was making some weird noises so i pulled over to check it out, turns out to be this...







I have like absolutely no money, in school only working part time and i'm pretty much making enough money to pay my bills and that's it. not enough to feed myself or put gas in the car so now i'm stuck riding on a full size spare and 3 rims until i can manage to get some new tires because i might as well go ahead and get all 4 since you can tell, i need them.

Judging by the wear, I'd say that was a front tire.

Also, it may have been under inflated. Make sure you run what the manufacturer recommends and CHECK IT OFTEN!!

Low profile tires need extra TLC.

EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT, IT ALWAYS DOES.

yeah, it was a front tire but blew while on back, had rotated them not too long ago. i checked them regularly and i always thought they looked low but when i checked them they always read the samething and they didn't need any air.

Here is another suggestion, put some stock wheels and tires on for now. If you don't have them, hit up your local junkyard....you can probably get a set for what it would cost to put a new tire on. It may hurt for a little bit, but once you get your cash right, you can buy 4 new sneakers. Besides, if the others are worn like that one was, do you really want to chance recking your car or taking out a wheel with a blow out?
