This was my tire


Holes in tire

I was going to go to Portland this weekend. I made it to a truck loading zone just off the James St. exit, downtown Seattle, where I called [livejournal.com profile] glasseye and AAA. [livejournal.com profile] glasseye found my spare tire, and the AAA towtruck driver jacked up my car with his fancy jack and told me where to find more air-- and then followed me to the gas station to warn me that my brake lights weren't working. So no more car for me, until we fix the brake lights (I'm hoping a connection has just been knocked loose) and pay someone to put a new tire on this rim.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Lame about the tire! I still wish I knew why my tire disintegrated on me. Let me know if you need to go to Costco for a new tire.

Dude, it looks like your tire was attacked by a bobcat.

This is a very strange looking failure. Seriously. It appears that you have enough tread on your tire, especially in the outside edge. Unless you are in the habit of hitting curbs or jumping off ramps, this is either deliberate or a bad job batch from the manufacturer. Personally I would take the tire to a tire store and get their opinion...you may have legal recourse.
