so Saturday night i was going home to San Marcos from San Antonio and my stupid tire (right rear) decided to separate from the sidewall and F*** my car up. it ripped my bumper all the way off, and I'm pretty sure it broke the welds on some of the spots where the bumper bolts into. anyone have a good spot where i can order replacement clips and what not? i still have the bumper its intact at my house luckily none of the paint broke or chipped or anything actually the paint is still in the same condition as before. ill have some pictures posted up later so you can see what welds I'm talking about. I am so so angry with that ****.

Damn sucks. Now you have to go thru insurance if you want.

Get in contact with the tire manufacturer, and see if they can do anything about it.

That happened to me driving my sisters 929, 3 years ago. Cheap tires she bought while in college and the damn tread seperates!!! It destroyed her front fender and side.

Call where you bought the tire and the tire maker!

That's unfortunate. The most important part is, you were not hurt, and luckily you did not lose control of your car! It could have been a lot worse. Good luck with the repairs.
