She didn't make it, 160 miles away from home.

I drove this thing like a ticking time bomb and forgot all about the tires

Those had to have been bald when you left

If it wasn't me posting, Id say you deserve not to own that car. Realized I had a problem in Shreveport, LA. You win some, you lose some.

I was at a NTB in Longview, TX. Would have had to wait 2 days for anything to arrive. Actually thought about removing them and applying a couple rolls of ducktape. That would have made for a good thread.

Just throw on the factory spare tire next time, it's in the trunk under the carpet.

Not sure what the big deal is, those tires clearly had another couple thousand miles in them.. easily

SAMM3Y · 05-21-2019, 08:16 PM
