Captain Stupid Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Probably not the best idea to rely on a damaged tire as a spare if you ever really need it. Just sayin'. Agreed, but it's better than no spare if I'm on a long trip and get a flat on the main tires. These tires are 3-1/2" taller than stock, so an ordinary spare won't work. It's barely damaged, but enough so that I wouldn't want it on the truck every day. I wouldn't put a badly damaged tire on my truck and no competent tire shop would mount one up for a customer if they have any brains at all. It's just something that if I'm driving some long distance I can throw it up on the roof rack as a spare and only use it to get me somewhere in an emergency. I'd rather have a backup plan than no plan at all. I'm gonna drive the truck around town on it for a few days while waiting for my new wheel and tire to get here, so I'll at least be able to see if anything "feels off" or if it develops a bubble. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J R Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Honestly, you could probably bend that rim out with a rubber hammer. It's definitely not ruined though just take it somewhere or do it yourself.

They mounted up the tire and put pressure in it. It's trash. Not even worth having as a spare, worse than I thought. got TWO eggs on the sidewall and slit cuts down the side from driving home on it. That really sucks FoxRacin4....definitely something to hang up on the garage carnage wall!

CleanSierra Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I HATED when I ran had 35 series on my 22s. Can't inagine how tedious it would be to drive in MI with 25 series. I was very happy to get my 40 series on that were 40MM wider as well, so there's a much healthier sidewall on the tires now. Sorry to hear about the wheels, but it sounds like its no huge surprise since you KNOW it's a gamble with such little tire between the wheel and road. On a side note, glad to finally see the ride that will be full of CF goodness soon enough. Have you decided which amp you may choose to put in it? Also, have you a high output alternator in the thing yet? Same with battery bank, anything going in? Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
