My Awesome Find After Work

dansou5 · Post by **dansou5** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 2:36 pm

So last night i get out of work at 9pm and i walk to the car and start it up to go home. I start to drive off and i am getting this thumping noise coming from one of the tires. So i stop thinking it is a flat, and i look at all four tires and they look great.

Then this mourning I took the tire off the front because i know that my brakes work making a little noise, and i thought a pad could have fallen and was rubbing, but i noticed this.

The asphalt/Tar must have melted on my tire while it was parked. It was around 90 the whole day so i could see it happen.

The tires were 2 months old, but i took it into Discount Tire and they replaced it with no problem.

Glad your tire shop took care of you. I wonder what it would of looked like if you had been here in California. Gonna be over 100 degrees for like the 4th day in a row today.

yea first i was looked at it and i thought the tread just melted but there was no way.

At discount for $40 you get the no hassle replacement plan, and if anything happens to the tires they give you new ones. I was just glad it wasn't some other problem on the car that i would have to get fixed.

Lol no i just got out of work and when i pulled out thats what i found.

It isnt freshly poured, and i usually park in the same general spot so i have no idea how it happened

Wow. Never seen something like that happen before. Maybe the compound of the new tires were messed up or something. Like WAY too soft.

That's crazy. You can basically cook bacon on the road if it's that hot.
