NOOOOOOOoooooooo.........
 
Okay, it's not that bad, but today on the way home my tire disintegrated, causing the plastic piece that guards the underside of the body up under the wheel (can't think of a better way to describe it), to be ripped halfway off, part of my front bumper to come loose, and the corner behind the wheel is bent all to hell! This really pisses me off because nothing like this has ever happened! I get my tires from Wal-Mart which is prolly the source of all this trouble, since that tire is only 2 weeks old, and was put on there to replace ANOTHER defective tire before THAT! No more tires from Wal-Mart for me.

What did you hit with the tire to cause it to disintigrate?

I doubt that it's a "Wal-Mart" thing more than a [TIRE BRAND] thing, or model.

Either way, shitty dude. :bonk:

Wasn't that what happened to the Ford Explorers with the Firestone tires? The tires were defective and Ford had to be pressed very hard to issue a recall...

that sucks dude yeah it was prob a tire brand issuse not so much wal-mart but ya never know

I didn't run over anything. The tire just fell apart... causing mass damage to that part of the car. (okay maybe its not mass damage) ...... I'll post pics.

TheLastMarauder May-3rd-2003 10:36 AM

It was some brand.... not just like a Wal-Mart tire or something. I'm too lazy to go back out and look since it's raining... but I did get those pics.

TheLastMarauder May-3rd-2003 10:55 AM

Goodyear or Firestone. I forget which.

Where all those black marks are on the side isn't scratched, just marked on. It will wash off.

Turns out it was a Firestone tire. It's not from Wal-Mart but since they patched the tire (and not replaced like I had thought) and then two weeks later it separated...

i can get you a new front bumper from where I live for about 90 bucks...LOL looks like you are going to need one.


GET TIRES FROM someone other than Wally-World, why do you think you see so many people returning stuff from wal mart..cause quality is the lowest possible thing they care about.

Having the lowest prices and putting other companies out of business is all they care about....

P.S. Get some Yokohama, or some Kuhmos.....

TheLastMarauder May-4th-2003 10:58 PM

Actually the bumper is fine. It was pulled loose but we put it back up...
