Title says it all. I’ve never seen one blow up like this. Is it possible?
Rofl I had the same assumption, that sign must of been the man of steel 😂😂😂
Depends on what you curbed your wheele on. Also the tire had low tred and was rotting.
Generally no… But with the damage on the rim next to it, anything’s possible.
I didn’t even pay attention to that because the owner has hit a curb once when I was with him so I assumed that was a normal occurrence
Pinching the sidewall can really fck it up
Recently hit a curb head on at 20+ mph and it tore a square hole about 1 inch per side in the tire. :/
That has definitely been cut with a knife or very sharp edge of some sort. The steel belts/cords are cleanly and uniformly cut (the white “threads” in the sidewall). Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Your friend is owed a nice new Dunlop.
The “knife” was made of concrete
Look at the rim damage. The person clearly hit a curb very hard and blew the tire.
You’re just simply wrong. Don’t comment on shit without knowing what you’re talking about, especially when your ignorance is going to make op paranoid and demanding money they aren’t owed. The “very sharp edge” is a combination of whatever they hit and about 35psi blasting out of that tire.
What, do you manufacture tires then? ASE certified then? Or just some flame war jackass on Reddit?
Lol k bro
sometimes those cheaper 25usd used tires can be jimmy’d up patch jobs from returns or thrown away tires. a sidewall tear like that can be patched up with a dremel kind of tool + patch/rubber cement but it won’t hold forever. looks like the patch finally gave out here but they are pretty low on tread anyway
Impact damage.
Drive too close to curb or something of that equivalent.
Whoever your friend lent it to has been driving by braille
Bruh 😂
I would guess it hit a anchor/stump/base from a street sign. Some are made to break away when hit and leave a post about that size sticking up a few inches, to which a new sign can be quickly attached.
I’ve seen debris on the road punch a whole like that before. The end of an extruded metal tube.
I guess it was metal from a road sign
Look at the mark on the wheel just below it. Think they slammed into a curb and ripped it open.
Updated: We went to inspect the damage and yup the guy finally claims to have hit a sign and I guess he drove over it and kept driving causing the sign to cut through the rubber because this is what the rim looks like now. This is solved ✅
He said “Lord, send me a sign that I’m a good driver”, and the good Lord said “no, fam. You suck”
Little bit of filler and some zip ties through the tire should be right as rain!
Might want to check the alignment after that!
What an asshole, damaging someone else’s car and trying to get away with it.
Probably a good time to tell homie he needs a bus pass.
The driver is an idiot to keep on driving after hitting the sign.
Just get some jb weld and send it, she’ll be fine /s
Honestly lucky he didn’t destroy anything else in the process
That is some sign…
The signs are made from stone obviously!
So he hit a gravestone.
I hit a pothole on Melba hwy which did this to my tyre
Looks almost like a clean cut
Let’s just say it could of been worse…this was the guy behind me
Ouch, that hurts to see, fuck.
Yea potholes can do some big damages. And it takes the city months to fix 1 sad
That’s exactly what my wife’s car looked like when she nailed a curb at like 30 lol
No
