Just Wondering.......


Six months ago... I was on my way to University then there was a huge pop (on HighWay). When I got to school, me and my friend checked and didn't find nothing wrong. But when we went back to the car a couple of hrs later, one tire was flat. Lucky that my friend spotted it. Got it repaired and auto ppl told me it was a nail. ever since then, I'm checking my tires like 99% of the time.

so..... I'm just wondering how will U know if ur tire went flat, while driving and u didn't spot it. And how will driving w/ a flat feel?

oh hells yeah its gonna feel different. i got a flat with my old car once (88 olds. cutlass ciera [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] ). im driving along, all of a sudden the whole car starts vibrating and shaking and im like WTF?!?!?!? my first instinct was to pull over, cause you cant drive like that. im lucky i was going pretty slow, that would have sucked on a highway.

but anyways, that was a pretty lengthy responce to your question. it will feel HELLA different! lol

i ran over a rock and i was like oh shiest when i had my ford escort, i looked real quick to see what happened and there was a huge lump on my tire, i knew my tire wont last but i was a lil far away from home, i figured i would drive home fast and get my bro to help but i didnt make it, i pulled over and i didnt have a spare cause i used it already a while ago, but luckily one of my good friends spotted me on the highway and pulled over and gave me his spare, thats what friends are for [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

you car will shake, you'll smell burning rubber, and most importantly, listen for a thump thump thump...that should be a big clue...peace[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

I witnessed a flat today this guy is this Isuzu SUV comes on the on ramp and we are heading up this hill he is halling it up like atleast 80 in a 65 I saw his rear tire about flat he just keeps on going I get to the top of the hill 3 miles up the road guess what I see smoke and everything and yep it blew on him.

Then it was easter back in 98 we were heading up to my aunts and I was noticing the Blazer was kind of luggin a little in the back I just thought it was the extra weight of 2 people in the back so all of a sudden I notice the car start pulling so I whip over 2 or 3 lanes finally get over to the side and yep blew the driver rear tire, so I got my good cloths all dirty changing a tire.

I have too many stories about blown tires from people on sides of roads to semis [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] See tons of them from here on out here in Arizona since its getting 110+ now and people still drive 80 some with the A/C just a blowing.
