xihearthookersx Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 So i let my girlfriend take the subaru to work this morning. well fate stepped in when she was on the freeway and decided we need to have one less tire on the car. Tire blew at 70. girlfriend is fine, car is mostly fine. little trim piece in front of the rear passenger tire broke. but the rim is ok. here is the bad part. i am supposed to be in Helena tomorrow to run autox, but THERE ARE NO RE050A TIRES IN THIS WHOLE F'ing state. so i am up S#$T creek this weekend. going to be next thursday by the time i can get a new tire. kinda puts a damber on my cbe and dp coming in on monday since i am on a dough nut tire until next thursday. someone else vent with me please. :spin::spin::spin::spin::spin::spin::spin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Depending on how many miles you had on them already you would need new set of tires anyway, or have the one tire shaved. Circumference needs to be within 1/4 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xihearthookersx Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 well she did hit something. was only 5k on the car so it was something on the road. dont think it was her fault probably something you could not even see. but yeah i know where big fork is. i used to live in little old creston mt. that post office/gas station that you pass on the way to kalispell. i met a few guys here in town that are scooby fans, but i dont think they are on the sight. only ppl in my area that are really into modding and forums are wrx fans. except for me, that is:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The tire can't be repaired?? If it wasn't the sidewall or within an inch of the sidewall it should be repairable...

xihearthookersx Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 no the tire blew. when i got there to put on the spare, there was nothing but wheel and a little bit of tire all the way around the bead. if i were to put a new set of tires on all the way around, what would you guys recommend for daily driver weekend autox tire?
