Sponaneous tire combustion:


In the garage, vehicle parked, no one around, tire explodes WTP





This is no worn out old piece of crap tire, look at the tread depth:





Here is the new hotness :banana:



I :owned: :(

Too bad Cassie had just came out of the garage when that happened. It would have been funny watching her run back into the house and ****.


Anyways, for everyone else, I could literally cup my hand around one of the buldges on the sidewall. That **** was insane.

any warrenty?

Exactly, if that thing just blew up out of nowhere, a day after you noticed the warpage, I'd contact Nitto and see what they have to say about it, maybe they'll replace it?

[phigity]

one of my nitto's had some buldges on it and i just ordered a new tire and slapped her on. good thing i didn't leave it or i might had ended up like you.

[LUNATIC13]

That is exactly what I am going through with my firestone tires. When I hit a bad pot hole I get a buldge. But I replace my tire asap. Got one now on the front tire BUT NO money! Hope that doesn't happen to me

[concreteSwell]

that sucks, man. this isn't the first time i heard of a nitto blowing up, though.

[slammed]

that sucks man

i personally think you should drive the ranger with the stock wheels for a couple weeks. it dosent look like the same truck

[mnchvgs79]

Yeah its pretty shetty, I just got the tire dismounted and its focked inside, it seriously looks like I drove home from the beach on a flat......How could I have done that and not noticed?????

I have UPS coming to pick up the tire and take it back to Nitto, I doubt they will do anything about it since it looks like I drove on it flat and it has something stuck in it. Who knows though, maybe they will feel bad for me.

Anyway, this gives me an opportunity to straighten that one wheel out and strip and polish all 4 of them like new again, frankly i'm tired of looking at them.

[mnchvgs79]

Oh yeah, I ordered a new tire today from a local shop, they HOOKED IT UP $200 installed thats $4 cheaper then discounttiredirect and I wont pay shipping and he is mounting and balancing it.

Deff looks like you drove it flat. Low profile tires are hard to notice when the get low on psi. You might have done just that and not noticed.
