This is the aftermath. Anyways, yesterday I bought a full set of ,near new, used all seasons to replace the worn out summers on my car,( I kept two of the four summers because they still have life). Today I’m driving from class to work,on the interstate. Driving 80 because I had to sit in the Taco Bell drive through for 15-20 minutes, I here a very sudden whining noise and excessive vibration along with a tire pressure light, and the car pulling hard. By the time of pulled of to the side the tire is trashed, the rim has already gouged a ring in the sidewalk of the completely flat tire. Weird thing is, my tire pressure sensor kept tripping ever since yesterday, but I’ve been obsessively checking pressure and everything is holding steady at 35 lbs, until now. Tomorrow I’m going to try to get a refund on the obviously defective tire.

There’s no guarantee on used tires. You won’t get a refund. This is why I don;t like to buy used tires, except in an emergency, or for spare tire use.
Also, donuts are usually supposed to be inflated to 60 psi.
Go to the junkyard and get a (regular-size) wheel for a full-size spare tire.

Yeah - probably no refunds (check your receipt) but they probably have to warrant the workmanship, which is what seems to be fucked up. And remember - if they’re not nice to you, you can savage them on Yelp or whatever else there is.

Yeah my donut is at 60 so the tire light is definitely on now, in the last two days though the pressure has been steady.

Near new tread wise, or near new by having a recent date code? Tires can look brand new all day long with good tread but have a date code that’s over 7-8 years old, which is really the maximum a tire can be used safely.
