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.
