So the next question is, does anyone have a spare Falken RT-215 laying around? Or anything even close?

He is 22 years old, of course he is fine and no actual damage to the car or the wheel.

QUOTE(Headrage @ Sep 29 2007, 11:14 AM) What happened? Sidewall come apart? Hard corner? Hit something? Not sure really, he had it towed home and said he was on the freeway. The entire sidewall was cut all the way around on both sides, He just left to go find a tire for it. It just seems he has bad luck with cars in general. If it can break, he will find a way.

He just got home with 2 new rear RT-615's mounted. He says he doesn't like the tread pattern as well. But he has new tires on the back now so he can drive it again.

Looks like "sudden depressurization" to me. Probably because he ran the tire at too low pressure, causing a heat buildup, resulting in separation of the tread. Looks like those huge bits of tire that litter our freeways. And, no, they AREN'T the remains of "retreads". The Cap'n

Many yrs. i had to borrow my dads Buick, for a day. I was driveing at about 40 mph for 15 mins. or so when BIG vibration in left rear. I pulled over ,got out and the whole tread had completely separated from the tire carcass and was smokeing. After a long talk with dad,cause was determind to be,oil changes done at instant oil change places, and of course they ALWAYS check air pressure in the tires. Needless to say from that day I took over the maintaince of his car. I told him i didn't want to take a chance of him killing mom and him. You know from that day on he really got a kick out of calling me at work and asking me when he could pick me up to get the oil changed!!! And so did I. Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

Had a similar blow out on a Falken RT-615 (205/40/16) i dunno what i hit on the 605 South (possibly a dip, or my front suspension was too stiff), but it made the tread portion tear away from the sidewall similar to what happen to Jared.
