Tire failure nearly crashed TA Posted By: T_TopBandit On: 05-07-2008 @ 00:45:38 Reply | Edit Had a very close call last night wile comming home from a friends house. I was just crusing at 50 mph when the right rear tire exploded in a left turn and sent my Trans Am in a broad slide straight towards a ditch. I counter steered trying to recover and the back tire droped in the ditch and snaped the car back the other way and spun completely around in the other lane. Luckly there was no cars comming at that time of night and more luckly there was a wide drive way in the crest of the turn that I ended up in and never hit anything. When I walked around to see the damage I was expecting the worse but was very lucky. The rare 15X8 smowflake wheel was untouched but the cooper cobra GT was in shreads! There was a large piece of aluminum pipe sticking up thru what was left of the side wall of the tire. Beats all I ever seen. Anyway I'll be off to the tire shop tomorrow and not upset at all over a hundred dollar tire. It could have been much worse so I consider myself pretty lucky I didn't crash my baby.
