Blown Tire
I had a tire blow out on my truck yesterday. I was going about 65 win the tread came off my left front it took out my brake line and pitched me sideways. Did a some body damage and punched a hole in my radiator. I think the worst part is I have 16 1/2'' wheels and tires are getting hard to find.

Re: Blown Tire
been there, SUCKS big time.
If this is your driver, then I'd buy one tire for it and start looking for some 16 inch rims. If it is not your daily driver, I'd park it and look for some 16 inch rims. |

Re: Blown Tire
Yes it is my daily driver and it will be parked for awhile. It might take couple of months to buy all of the parts that it will take to get it back on the road.

Re: Blown Tire
I like the ford rims the hub cap fits perfect and stay away from Byes ply tires run radials.I know there are trouble times when people don't have money But if your looking for a long lasting tire on your 3/4 ton truck even tho they not much for snow they last over 5 years
MichelinXPS Rib(Highway Rib Summer) Highway Rib Summer light truck tires are for drivers who want a combination of heavy-duty load capacity, even wear and low noise along with traction on dry and wet roads. Sometimes used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on medium and heavy-duty 2WD trucks, vans and pickups, Highway Rib Summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. O.E. Highway Rib Summer light truck tires are typically purchased as direct replacements for worn-out pairs/sets of the vehicle’s original tires. They can also be used for other vehicle applications in complete sets of four or axle pairs if available in an appropriate size, load range and speed rating to match the existing O.E. tires’ performance category and specifications. Go to www.tirerack.Com there is No Tax and shipping is really cheap and you want a tire that will last you 3-5 years and get over 150,000 miles look into these tires they ride like a caddy get the road hazzered They cost 1125.00 plus shipping But well worth thye price if you do any hauling with the truck |

Re: Blown Tire
Same story, opposite side. Curled my fender up a little more though. Still need to get it fixed. Except I was running about 80-85 MPH. That's the fastest I've ever stopped that truck. lol. Looks like we have matching marks on our doors!
I was too mad to stop and cry about it. I wanted to though. Made me sick and ruined my day.
