Shredded one of the old rear tires. NOt sure how--it shredded on the inner sidewall and started making funny noises on the freeway. Didn't feel like a blown tire but I pulled off and found tire was shredded and rubbing inner fender and rear shock. Put on donut spare, which looked silly and drove 50mph on freeway, pissing off other drivers. After work put on track wheels and dropped rear 135s at Costco for Pilot Super Sports.
Not sure what happened. Tread was very low, beyond wear bars, but not totally gone. I did some AutoX fun runs on these tires Saturday including some light drifting. Maybe I corded the inner shoulder and didn't know. Or had leak and let the air pressure get too low.
But the donut spare, as silly as it looks, got me to work and home. I guess runflats would have done the same if merely flat; not sure they work if sidewall is shredded.
Ha that was my fear in posting it. Someone would snag them before me. So think I could grab them and run them through winter while saving for decent summers?Quote:

For winter tires.....they are great. Winter's right around the corner......
Yeah, those 68 degree winters in San Diego are hellish! :biggrin
hey now... I had the 37deg alarm go off last year a few times
You guys just don't know what you're missing.
Steve, my experience driving some Blizzaks far enough north to know what they're actually for, is that they are going to be incredible in snow and especially ice. And on dry roads, you"re definitely going to know you're not on a performance tire. So, there's trade offs.
That's okay...I'm happy where I'm at....even though I have a very high price to pay for this weather on our bankrupt BS state.Quote:
