Unhappy This sucks!

I was driving back to work on the freeway after my lunch and my ripped in pieces and i heard a loud clanking sound. So i pull over and sure enough my front driver side tire was ripped bad. Not only that it popped out and pummled my fender and my fender liner (no more fender liner to be exact or bumper liner too) it also ripped some wiring and broke my head light. My signal light is cracked on the insde and i have no high beam bulb or signal bulbs(destroyed that that too) and now i think my wheel speed senser may be damaged too becuase my car is making a funny noise when i slow down( kind of like a space ship or something?) I think my hood cable was also ripped too... I have not been able to assess all the damages but i will take pics soon.

Re: This sucks!

The hell? Man there is no way a civic tire would do that? Maybe an 18 wheeler tire or something.

Re: This sucks!

dont sue the tire company, partly because this is ur fault for driving on a failing tire, u should have put the spare on, but, hindsight is always 20/20. however, this is not the worst blowout ive ever seen, saw a camry last week that the blowout ripped all the paint off the fender, bent the rim, tore out the headlight assembly etc... but this does suck, tire belts can do some serious damage. a failing tire can go very quickly, so next time take the time and put ur spare on... i feel ur pain, good luck in the future gettin it fixed....
