You know how I said my Ranger’s tyres weren’t even roadworthy? Here’s what I mean...

To the tyre’s credit, it survived 250-ish miles of highway driving and 5.5 hours of being absolutely punished offroad. My team was legitimately impressed I even made it to the offroad park, let alone through the park, to the afterparty, then back home.

I believe the inner plies were good up until I decided to fully send it. Then it must have started a slow leak that grew until the tire just gave up in the parking lot of my condo. Good thing I’m getting new rubber after the holiday!

DON’T DRIVE ON CRACKING TYRES, people. I certainly got very lucky and that’s not a dice roll I’ll do again.

They’re basically brand new 29s and they come on some awesome wheels. $50 and I get a two stroke minibike out of the deal! Just have to wait for the guy to be home after the 4th.

I gotta stop using my nine lives. lol I’m pretty sure I lost a few when I jumped a car during the Gambler 500 with a beer in hand and some more when I crashed my scooter during the same event.

That is one spectacular tire failure. I’ve seen on similar on my grandmothers car the tire dry rot before they wear out when you only drive 3000 miles a year.
