Getting Your Money's Worth from a Tire!

This tire came in this moring. Customer said he was doing 80 mph on the freeway when it went boom. This is by far the worst we've seen. I expect this to be a record which may never be broken.

I think we all know! A BRP Special!

I'm sure that even a quality tire could have an incident like that if the owner wore it real thin and hit a sharp object. Looks like a one or 2 ply carcass.

That is a catastrophic failure. Or, Rapid Unplanned Disassembly (RUD), to use a SpaceX term for an explosive event.

Hey, that had unused tread left on the outer edges, must have hit a piece of scrap metal on the road.

Now there's a guy who might try playing Russian roulette with an M1911A1.

Wow! If you try to patch that one on the inside, you'll need to rebalance the wheel for sure!!
