Guys at discount were confused as well. Tire flat via brake pad?

wow, that's just ridiculous

3/5/2013 10:25:44 AM

Damn

3/5/2013 12:28:21 PM

So did it sound like maracas right after you hit it?

3/5/2013 12:33:07 PM

did your car stop better?

3/5/2013 1:21:38 PM

Looks like it has a lot of tread left. Must've barely had time to brake it in.

3/5/2013 2:48:20 PM

yea,

only 5k on the tire, still have no idea how it ended up on its side (perhaps front tire kicked it up).

Loud pop then a little rattle....Tire went flat very quick...

you, sir, deserve a round of applause.

3/5/2013 6:01:23 PM

Tire brake?

3/5/2013 6:57:49 PM

the other scary part is that someone driving around may be missing a brake pad

hopefully it just fell off of someone's truck bed

First things first, how the fuck do you run over something that big

following too closely

I ran over a catalytic convertor once. That sucked

No vehicle damage though, go figure.

3/6/2013 10:31:32 AM

nobody really even near me that I could tell. It was at night and i was running to a hockey game.

Actually blew out the back right tire...Im thinking possibly the front one kicked it up, then the back tire caught it?

3/7/2013 7:56:35 AM

yeah i don't recall ever having a front tire pick up a foreign object. it's always the rears.

3/7/2013 11:54:17 AM

This is the kinda of crazy shit you'd read on the net, not hear it from one of us...

Just imagine if that shit happened on your bike...

A few years ago, while working at that same DTC I found a huge brake pad (at least 8 inches) inside of a LRE tire, but the tire had not been damaged in any way.

Whoever installed the tire for that customer had put a scrap brake pad inside of his tire.

His wheel was probably tired and wanted a brake.
