Looks like it has a lot of tread left. Must've barely had time to brake it in. 3/5/2013 2:48:20 PM |

yea,
only 5k on the tire, still have no idea how it ended up on its side (perhaps front tire kicked it up).
Loud pop then a little rattle....Tire went flat very quick... 3/5/2013 4:57:30 PM |

the other scary part is that someone driving around may be missing a brake pad
hopefully it just fell off of someone's truck bed 3/5/2013 8:13:03 PM |

I ran over a catalytic convertor once. That sucked
No vehicle damage though, go figure. 3/6/2013 10:31:32 AM |

nobody really even near me that I could tell. It was at night and i was running to a hockey game.
Actually blew out the back right tire...Im thinking possibly the front one kicked it up, then the back tire caught it? 3/7/2013 7:56:35 AM |

Just imagine if that shit happened on your bike... 3/7/2013 1:18:38 PM |

A few years ago, while working at that same DTC I found a huge brake pad (at least 8 inches) inside of a LRE tire, but the tire had not been damaged in any way.
Whoever installed the tire for that customer had put a scrap brake pad inside of his tire. 3/8/2013 9:34:13 AM |

His wheel was probably tired and wanted a brake. 3/8/2013 11:43:30 AM |
