High Speed + Underinflated Tires =
 

My car came with these stupid pressure monitor valve stem covers that leaked. I brought the car to a tire shop and *thought* they had fixed it. I got lazy and didn't check my tire pressure before I left Carson City to come back to LA. Needless to say they were still leaking. That plus some high speed antics led to the following. This happened a little while back but I just grabbed the photos off my phone. I was stuck outside of Lancaster for a few hours.

How fast were you going? I bet that made a little noise.

'bout 85 when it blew out. 'bout 40mph faster a little before that. ;) I barely even noticed actually. I wasn't even sure I had a blow out until I pulled over.

Damn kid. How's the rim?

Still not 20 inches. :( It's fine, just a little scuffed.

Man that sucks!

Wow.. I totally remember when Mine(On the evo as well) blew on 395 southbound, and you are right I didnt know I had a flat. I had to have hwy patrol come and help me replace the wheel :lol:

at least you didn't get out of control and have shit go down.

Good thing you don't drive an Explorer.

See JC blow by Old Man in Caddie.
