Toyo tire exploded... bad experience - PICTURES
Driving around today and got a light that the tire pressure was low... Got to the first gas station, looked around the car and it all seemed ok. Checked the pressure with the pressure gauge.. All good.. so i thought it was a glitch and reset the warning light.. In about 15 minutes, while on the highway, I hear a loud pop and the car shakes... DAMN.. tire popped.. Stop the car on the shoulder... it's the rear left Toyo 315/35R20... but, get this, it was soooo bad that it knocked out the rear most left PDC, made a hole in the plastic undercarriage spoiler in the back, completely destroyed the hitch "cover" (it was MIA).. AND the bumper is loose now on the left side.. I'll post pics tomorrow or sunday
I am bummed.. gotta take it to the dealer to get fixed now... anyone know where I can get a Toyo Proxes S/T 315/35R20 in NJ without buying one online? I called STS tire and they don't carry such big size in stock -- it would be special ordered.. thanks for help.

Hmmmmm.... can't answer the NJ tire retailer question, but my Toyos are getting pretty loud and I was worried that I'd get a flat soon. But, not have one explode!!!
Those 315s are pretty expensive, so your best bet is online. BTW, how many miles did you have on them?

That's not good news. Sorry for your mishap. When I ordered mine, the front ones were on back order and the dealer told me that they were having problems with the front ones and Toyo was going through a redesign. He didn't say anything about the rears. It bothers me that there was no warning!
Good luck on fixing the car. Wonder if you have any claims against Toyo?

Wow, Toyo would be getting a nice call from me telling them about the body work and rim they are replacing.
