it could have turned out real bad

i had that happen a week and a half ago but not as bad as the OP and mine actually split open and i heard the air come out on a dirt road.

i heard its bcoz some tires get weak in the cold season and when the seasons change and you really heat up the road the weaknesses show.

this was a used tire anyway so i wasn't that hurt about it ...i get all my tires used for 10 bucks a pop from my uncles towing company LOL i use them on my work car bcoz i go 35 miles a night on back roads going 20 MPH so they usually wear and don't last long but i try to squeeze every mile i can out of them
