F_ckin' tire blew out on me last night.

***Gamite*** · 06-25-2004, 06:43 AM

I was driving home last night, early round 5am, and my car starts to rumble, and my steering tilts to one side.. first thing that hits my mind: "F_ck, tire blew"

So, I get out of the car, and immediately, I smell burning rubber, this dun sound like a normal blow out.

So I touch the tire, and its burning hot. I eventually pull it out.. and this is how it looks...

Does this look normal to you??? You guys think I should email Kumho? They're Kumho 712's, I will never buy these tires again. (although I might buy 1 to replace the blown one, but after that, never again)

so your try to say , the tire just blew on its own while u were driving , must of been some debris of the road , or either some tire failure that made the tire collapse !
