This was my tire after meeting with Charlene. I noticed a whump whump whump. I pulled over to take a look only about 5 minutes drive from home. Then I did what a sensible woman does at 10:15pm on a Friday night when faced with parking in the curbside zone of a dark-ish neighborhood- called AAA.
Tomorrow morning will be early as I now need to hit the tire shop before I go to Yoga. And find out what caused the sidewall to separate... Good thing this didn't happen on the Freeway. Or on my way to meet Char. Maybe it did and I was just oblivious?! Hopefully, this doesn't have anything to do with how I inflated the tire a week ago (but it was the other side that was really low).
BTW, this was a decent photo at night for a phonecam with a completely dark screen which was lit with the led "disco light" flash on my phone. Couldn't see a thing when I was taking the photo.
Wonder how many tires they're going to need to replace... :/
2. They swapped the old front tires to the rear and put the new tires in the front, since my car is a front wheel drive. Also credited me with a bit of warranty money which made the new tires a bit more affordable. They did say I could do only one tire, but the other back tire could use changing, too and it is recommended that I change out a pair at a time. All of it mostly painless.
