This morning I had to be at work at 7:30, so I get up extra early so I won't have to battle traffic on my way. As I get off the freeway and go through my first light, my car starts shaking a little bit. As I go through my next light, it all of a sudden feels like I hit a giant log or something and then just goes nuts. I smell burning rubber and see white smoke everywhere, so I pull over and find this:
Needless to say, I was not at work at 7:30. Apparently no one in North Richland Hills knows how to change a tire (including me!) so I had to wait and hour for a guy my dad knew to come and help me and got to work at 9am. Oh yeah, and I wore white pants to work today. Perfect for digging around greasy tire-changing stuff. What a great start to a day...

That stinks! I had one of those outside Eastland, TX, and both my spares went flat too, It was fun, but I wasn't in a hurry to get to work, I'd much rather have AAA tow me to a store when I don't have to be anywhere.
what on earth happened to that tire??!! I've never seen anything like that! Quite the exciting way to start your day!
Oh my gosh! Did the tire just disintegrate? What happened?
that's the worst tire I've ever seen! I'm glad you were OK.
