    Default Why u shouldnt do 110 on used tires

    so anyways i was being crazy and decided to pass a friend that was doing like 70 and i was gonna fly by him and the entire tread popped off my rear driver side tire. luckily i wasnt being too crazy and i was too lanes over and there was no traffic. i almost spun out on the highway but ive been driftin a lil bit so i didnt panic (ok maybe i did a little) and over countersteer. i got off the highway and was shocked at the body damage. i didnt even realize it was my tire while it was happening. i thought engine was or lsd was fukin up because it was loaud as hell and shaking like crazy. even more wierd was the tire was still full of air! the tire had atleast 30 percent tread.

    what could cause this dry rot or sumn or being really old???

    anybody know a good/somewhat cheap place to get this fixed? how much you all think this will cost me?

    Thats why they have speed ratings on the tires...

    Used tire shops is your best bet if your looking for cheap. but if you plan on going 110 again. Get BETTER tires!

    Fucking kidiots, Do me a favor and go turn in your licenses. Your the kind of son of a bitch that makes me pay higher insurance. I hope the next time you flip the bitch.

    What is funny is everybody saying "used tires". Whether you broke them in or somebody else...they're still used lol!

    Yeahhh I would have just said, "I ran into a truck tire and look what the bastard did"

    You're an idiot for driving like this. Good thing you maintain your vehicle so well.
