Fortunately, mine pale in comparison to what has been happening to everyone else...
I pulled into the gas station in Waconia this morning on my way to work, got out of my car and heard a hissing noise. First thing I looked at was the tire and I noticed there was a pretty large gash in the sidewall. The tire appeared to be full when I got out of the car and went completely flat before I was able to pump 11 gallons.
I didn't see any debris where I drove and I was only doing 5 to 10 mph pulling up to the pump so I don't think it's an impact break. What could have caused this? Anyone 'in the know' think I could get this warrantied? Who around here sells Sumitomo tires that I could have them take a look and hopefully get me a warranty replacement
Anyway..here are the pics...any ideas?
Also, I'll add before anyone else says it, I know that if I get this replaced under warranty I'll either need to get the new tire shaved or replace the other three....
