First one ever and the scariest thing i've ever felt while driving. Was doing 75 up marylands i-97 just about to go into a exit ramp and the whole front of my car just started shaking like crazy. I thought for sure my tie rod came off or something it didnt feel like a flat.
Got a set of stock with dencet tires off of joe (youknowwhoibee). Thankfully it ended in just a routine flat tire pull over and repair but could have been much much worse. |

hmm, if i made the news that would have been interesting.. i didnt cause a back up i was on the shoulder at the top of an on ramp so you couldnt really see me till you were up there. It was pretty straight forward, changed the tired and left so i doubt it..
the tired is fucking shreaded though. I'm really thankful it didnt happen while iw as driving striaght. |
