Drove on 6psi
Yikes. Driving back from the rifle range yesterday (nobody was out, 3ºF must be the temp where the tacticool guys panties freeze) I noticed a little wobble . Pulled into the closest gas station which was about 5 miles away.
Left rear tire looked like this http://i.imgur.com/d29vmor.jpg Damnit. Not even going to ask if it's OK to continue on my merry way... I checked it, 6psi. Aired it up to 32 and held, made it home. Parked it last night, and sourced another identical Blizzak with corresponding tread depth. Really didn't want to sink 800+ bucks into a set, since we all know AWD = replace them all. The ONE instance where TPMS might have saved me in all my years of driving. Ah well. |
The Z4s are known to eat the inside of tires due to its alignment specs, and I had this happen on my Z4....not good! Fortunately the tire held itself together to pull over, with it being low profile it didn't cause an accident fortunately. Glad you are OK!

This is why I swiped the portable Air Compressor from my 911.

Everyone should carry a small compressor and a bottle of slime. |
Nice. Running at 275/315....OE, I think even at 28 PSI, the sidewall would not have survived. Took her out today as we don't drive it daily, just to burn off some condensate...
Tires felt weird. Pressure checked out fine. Rubber was just a bit hard... |
You drove on a flat tire. What's the question?

I think he is doing a public service announcement. Check your tires boyz.

Whatever wheels you use have a good bead. Surprised the tire didn't try to self dismount.

I LOVE that you just said Tacticool :)
