High Speed + Underinflated Tires = - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

JC · 2008-01-28, 09:30 PM

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.

JC · 2008-01-28, 09:53 PM

'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.

Nick Koan · 2008-01-28, 10:35 PM

Damn kid. How's the rim?

JC · 2008-01-28, 10:56 PM

Still not 20 inches.

It's fine, just a little scuffed.

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
