Didn't make it. We rotated the tires cause the back had little tread so we put the fronts on the back and we were leaving my friend's house and the left rear wheel came off and messed up the brake. It's at the dealership and should get worked on tomorrow

f*#k me! are you serious!?! dude sorry to hear that..need to be a bit more careful youngblood! Youll get em next time. If I was in that situation and heading to the track, I wouldve kept the bald ones in the back. Air it down to 22lbs drive around the waterbox and light them suckers up for 3-4 seconds.

not good bro, lessoned learned..get the BS out of the way you know. Could of been alot worse, glad to hear it wasnt. I had a buddy do that when I was your age back in the 80s. A 67 goat doing 65 mph on the beltway. He got a flat tire. So he used the long lug nuts that went with cragars he had to hold on the stock spare tire. Snapped them friggin wheel studs right off on the beltway, it had just enough slop that the tire wiggled violent at speed, snap!. Front tire at that. He slid and kept it in control about 100 yards. I got there before the cops did. We called a tow truck.

Yeah my truck went about 100 yards trying to slow down. We were lucky that the tow truck place is like 5 miles from where my truck stopped. Weird thing was that cops were supposed to come direct traffic cause I was still in the lane since both sides of the road is ditches but 3 cops drove by and did nothing while we were waiting for the tow truck which was like 15 minutes

holy crap...........

Yeah bald at about 6300 miles. My mom doesn't know yet, but she'll probably kill me when she does find out

Well the back of the rim by the tire was messed up too, looked like it got curbed. Rotor was all we saw, there's probably gonna end up being more though like the studs and probably the caliper cause of the way the rotor was

They're checking everything. Probably gonna have my oil change done while it's there since yesterday I went over 6,000 miles and all other needed maintenance
