springnr Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Bad railroad tracks at 40 mph - blew left front and ruined both front tires. Left rubber marks on the wheels but did not ding them. Hmm, guess I know why everyone else was in the left two lanes on the frontage and the right lane was wide open now. I opted for four new P Zero Nero M&S 225/45/17. While bigger these are still plus 0. I ask the tire store clerk if I should still use the 35/33 psi recomended with the bigger tires and he replied that oh 30 or 32 all the way around should do. 35/33 sounds better to me - what do y'all think?

SUBE555 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 If they were using subpar pressures a tire can easily go from increased heat. Never EVER go less than stock pressures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 low profile tires + low pressure + sharp edges = issues.. I think a lot of people end up with bent rims because they run over potholes with low pressure and the tire doesn't stand a chance without the air behind it.

awdG35killer Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 would this be covered under road hazzard warranty??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springnr Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Right after I bought my wagon I went to Discount tire and purchased road hazard so my damaged tires were covered by road hazard. I had checked my tire pressure last weekend and they were set to 36/34. This railroad crossing really blew, it had about a three inch rise in the concrete on the far side.
