OMG Street racing is dangerous?! :jawdrop:

OMG Racing a truck with known uneven tire wear around curves could have unpredictable results? :jawdrop:

If you’re going to race, especially on the street, you really need to closely monitor things like your suspension and tires and not race if anything looks amiss. Glad you didn’t learn the hard way, but you’re pissing off Darwin so be careful.

I can’t believe that you truck handles so poorly under normal conditions that you could notice the change in tire pressure.

Runflat tires are also only supposed to be run with a pressure monitoring system in place to tell the driver that the tire is no longer holding air pressure.

i dont think the tire was the problem. i think when i veered off onto the shoulder i picked something up in it and it slowly leaked out overnight.
