    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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
