Do you guys think that it would just explode on me if I drove it anymore? It was in the front, and is now moved to the back.

I think it happend the other day. I rember hitting a pothole hard as shit.




Ahhh FML I dont have money for a new tire.

[jmmx258]

it'll blow the tread off the tire.. Probably doing metal damage.

[PURP]

take tire off ASAP. DO NOT drive on it. Borrow money to get a new one or walk.

[RiceBoy]

That sux..looks like expensive tires too.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say they are Riken branded tires?

Like Got_Purp said, don't risk driving on them.

Yeah I was thinking it would be pretty risky to try and drive anymore on it.
Thanks for the response.

Haha what else do you expect to be mounted on rotas?LOL


But seriously I love the tires. Great bank for your buck.

Most of the time.

What size do you need?

[jdm>usdm]

What size do you need?

Theyre 205 40 16's.


My buddy's dad owns a local tire shop where I purchased all of the tires originally.

Ill probably go by there monday morning and see what he can do.

I was thinking staples?

I was thinking staples?

Staples can't pull tight. They just press shit downwards and in hopes that it'll hold.

Yup, someone beat me to it & said Riken tires. Those tires looks like crap, I'd never buy em but anyway go ahead & replace it. The damage that could happen from the tire completely going out will be much worse than the $70 you spent on that Chinese tire.

[AV8ter]

Were they really 70? Dang, you can get 4 new 205/40/16 Proxxes 4s for only 340.........

[bloodline]

yeh man no need to investigate..just make sure you change it and be safe..

[88civic_hatc]

great job look like you ran it flat

[Scotsman]

[civicturbo10]

Just in case you didnt know, Riken tires are made by Michelin:D

Looks exactly like what happened to my Nexen N3000 last week. Except mine did blow.

n allota times that split (especially where its at) is caused by running on it with no air in it

roll the tire around n listen the hear any ((stuff)) klunking around inside....if so the side wall was eaten up from the inside

this happens a lot on lower profile tires...cuz you cant feel the sloppiness in yer ride (from under inflation) do to the short sidewall
by the time you realize it...............................its almost ALWAYS to late:(

[DrewS2K]

are those riken raptors?..

[Hektik]

:dunno:superglue?

[MR.EM1]

youll be fine..

[EJdm]

something like that happen to my wife car it didnt blow but just gottn flat real fast lol...just change it not worth it..

[imprtguy_94]

i wouldnt recommend driving on that. it would probably tear off and you would screw your rim up and so on and so on. id find a way to get a new tire dude i wouldnt drive that car at all till then
