Look what my lil' brother did to my car this morning...





The ironic thing about this, there was no air in the spare [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]

 

Sorry about your morning. [img]smile.gif[/img]

My wife did that to her 2001Mustang GT convert. Cost me 1200 for new tires.

 

wtf happened?

 

thats what happens when you lend out your car...

actually found a nail in the tread, so what could have happened was that the tire was running on the sidewalls and just gave out on the highway

it happens tho... but never thought that bad

 

did you gain any spl ?

 

actually, I did... bout a couple of tenths

 

you know what u go to do now, right?

do this to all your tires, you can gain upto a full db!!!!

 

Your saying a nail did all that?

no.

A nail would have created a slow leak.

Which in turn means that the tire, having lost air, was riding on its sidewalls...which are not meant to be driven on, exactly.

And thus, due to usage and weight....the sidewalls probably blew out, causing the blown out look right there.

I see this type of blowout happen on Semi trailers a lot at work, its especially fun when it happens in the shunt yard right ext to where you are standing....

MUST be more than a tenth of a DB....lol

 

Is this coming from experience?

If so, SPL is gonna get REALLY expensive soon. Those tires are about $120 each [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]
