First & only "Blowout" was in my lifted 91 Jeep Wrangler.
Off road trip with a friend in Blackwood Nj.
Driving through a muddy track & BOOM.... a submerged piece of metal decimated the drivers front. A brand new 33x15.50-15 Super Swamper SX.
I was not amused.
Then, when I went to change it, we find out that the full size spare had been slashed at some point.
We limp it to the closest service station to see if either tire could be fixed. NOPE.
The solution..... there was a JUNK Hoosier racing slick in the trash pile. ZERO TREAD, but 15". The tech mounted it & had to put a DOUBLE plug PLUS a can of fix-a-flat in it JUST to get it to hold air.
It looked like hella flush stretched rubber band ;)
Coming home over the Walt Whitman someone cut me off from the right hand lane & I had to hit the brakes pretty hard. It damn near ripped the wheel outa my hands from the HUGE difference in rolling diameter. We almost hit the barrier.
I had to buy TWO new tires & had a REALLY pissed off tech when he had to pull the bald slick full of fix-a-flat off & the slashed spare.... PLUS m&b two 33" mud tires.
That was my first time. ;)
My curse with vehicles has always been around. The Jeep curse eventually turned into the Baja curse.
Hahaha
