Yep, had a car tire look like that once. Blew up on the road not long after.

Why did you drive it like that? And how did you get it like that?

[-] girl@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

Not OP, but usually this is the result of people not having money. Tires are absurdly expensive

Or trying to drive to the shop instead of getting a tow.

Can confirm that this was another reason for me not looking into it sooner haha! I was a poor student living on my own for the first time.

Not for the deceased.

I was a dumb kid without a lot of driving experience and car knowledge at that time. Learnt a valuable lesson, luckily nothing worse than a flat tire.

Apparently my old Escort had a very misaligned steering-angle which wore the tire out aggressively over time. I remember the steering-wheel shaking heavily at higher speeds before the tire finally gave out.
