The Phantom

I hit a big-ass pothole in LA a few months ago.  Upon closer inspection of the tire with which I hit the hole, I noticed a bulge in the sidewall.  I wasn't sure if the bulge was already there, but it's likely it was caused by the encounter with the pothole.

Flash to a couple weeks ago when I had my car on a lift to change the oil, and I noticed the front driver side tire has a flappy piece of rubber right at the edge of the tread going right down to the steel belting.  I now have two tires that have questionable life expectancy, so I'm getting a whole new set of BFG g-Force T/A KDWs.  They're one step up from what the car came with (KDWSs), which are actually really good tires themselves.  I can only imagine how good the KDWs will be.

I should be fine until I get the tires replaced.  Pray for me anyway.  :D

I'm sure you'll be fine Troy although I'd get cheap tires if I had a GTO. :P  :lol:  B)

Yeah, because even with Generals on it, the car would handle well.

Well, I just wouldn't want to be burning up expensive tires with that LS1. :lol:
