My friend got a flat back tire, so he brought it to get it replaced. Shop couldn't work on his vehicle due to a gas line leak, so he limped it home on his donut.

He drove his step moms car today since he didn't want to drive his with the donut. They get going down the highway and this happens. What are the odds he drives someone else's car and a tire still blows 😅

What happened here? I don't know tires well enough to diagnose what may have happened.

I seem to see this shit all the time!

Lease is refusing to check the alignment on my car. Every set of fronts I’ve gone through is because of outer edge wear since the car was new. The first sets only lasted 8k miles. The inside edges are fine. They also don’t want to replace the tyres as they’re still technically legal as the tread in the middle is above 2mm.

Same tires before & after replacing

Well, curbed my rim and took a nasty chunk out of the sidewall of my front passenger tire. Usually a super conscious about my rims, but let my guard down and gonna be dealing with the bruised ego for a while.

2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid, about 15K miles on the tires.

Thoughts on if it’s safe to drive on? No metal showing, no bulging. Of course I’m about 65 miles away from home right now and away for the weekend. Got some trips lined up later this month, so if I were to get them changed I’d want to do so before then. If I get them changed, should I get a set of 2?

TIA!

I was going about 40 mph when i hit a deep pothole head on with my front right tire. It now looks like this. I’m wondering if this needs to be replaced, and if so, how long I can get by on these tires until I have the chance to take care of it. I plan to replace the two front tires. I would really appreciate the help. Thank you all very much

Just noticed a bulge on the front passenger side, how dangerous is it to drive on?

Went for first routine service at the dealership and tech found sidewall dry rot as well as a nail in driver rear tire, do not recommend patching due to “the dry rot and the type of tire used”. Got home and found the passenger Rear also has a screw in it.

I bought the vehicle from same dealership with Ford Gold Certified CPO about 3 months ago. I’ve driven it roughly 3000 miles now. The tire pressure has been consistent for all four tires.

Hello all, what’s the risk of driving these short distances? I have to pump it up every time before I drive because of air loss (about 10psi per hour) and I typically only drive about 1-2 miles each time to get to my kids soccer practices and games about 4-5 times a week. Can I realistically push my luck and make these last a few more months?

Thank you!

Edit: I only just noticed the metal things today the other side is just a little balding / worn. I thought I could push them out for a bit since it’s low speed and very short distances but I won’t risk it and will bike the kids to practice until I can get these replaced. Thank you for everyone’s very blunt input helping me see the real risk.

Edit 2: I also want to add that none of the other 3 tires have the metal bits sticking out and the wear on the other side of this tire is clearly worn but nothing like this so I never thought to inspect the inside of my tire.

Also I’m sorry so many think I’m baiting or faking, but you can clearly see it’s still attached to my car and you can even see my garage door in the background of one of the pics so I’m very sorry to say it’s sadly real. I kinda thought once I noticed the metal bits that they were done for, but part of me was really really hoping I could push it until I could afford new tires. I don’t have a spare only a tire pump kit with some tire sealant thing with it that came with the car.

Hello I had a winter tire unmounted due to hitting a curb in low visibility weather. It looks fine on the exterior but i just picked it up from discount tire after they got rid of the wheel and there’s some tearing inside the tire.

Is this safe to remount or will I need to buy another one for next winter?

These are another cheap chinese MT i'm seeing on marketplace but a lot less than some of the others. Anyone try these and do they balance well?

Tried to pull it out and couldn’t, it’s been in there a few months

Is this blowout material ?

Date code of the tires is 2024 and they were stored for winter. less than 1300 miles on them.
