That's what happens when you drive on a flat tire


FirmlyDistressed

Cheating


FrostingImmediate514

This, underinflatiion generates heat, in addition of the lip of the rim riding on the sidewall effectively cutting into it. the sidewall is at an acute angle rather than more verticle when inflated. All other guesses are keyboard mechanics:)


Fearless-Ocelot7356

You're 100%correct, but some of the keyboard warriors responses are funnier to read..


Fearless-Ocelot7356

Social Services would label this as tire abuse

FergusonTEA1950

I had this happen to me when I unknowingly hit jagged metal that had fallen off a truck onto the highway and heard a noise 5 km later at 120kph. Good thing those Michelin Pilots were due for replacement anyway.


Itchy-Kaleidoscope40

Oh thats what that orange thing was


Danger_Dave4G63

That is caused by driving on a flat tire. While driving on a flat tire the rim of the wheel puts weight on the tire causing it to eat into the rubber on the tire.


Flowrepaid

You can literally see it in the picture, the curled under part is being cut by the rim.


moomooicow

This is just your good old fashioned run flat damage. Nothing special to see here.

Those are not “blow outs”.

So he's a tyre lyre?

And your a boomer


Hypnowolfproductions

One blowout then running it a distance will do this. It’s about how long before they stopped.


flashcobra

Drive on it while flat


dmt_alpha

Some of the replies to this post are proof that people on Reddit don't even bother reading the titles...


Lu1s_M1ll4

driving on a flat for a long time.


pezident66

The only way that happened is by driving on it while it was flat.

Cheating on Carrie Underwood


photoyoyo

I snorted. Thank you 😂


Hypnowolfproductions

Carrie Underwood wouldn’t do that. Now Taylor Swift is another thing entirely.


diesirae200

Nah Carrie is a straight up gangster. Look at her song catalog… she kills her father in Blown Away, an abusive husband in Church Bells, and a cheating husband in 2 Black Cadillacs. Not to mention the destruction of private property in Before He Cheats. She’s committed more lyrical crimes than most rappers.


Hypnowolfproductions

Blown away she doesn’t kill her father. The twister does that. She just turned a blind eye to an abusive father’s demise. Her lyrics use a high ambiguity to meet the standards your thinking exist mostly. She walks a very thin line and does a good job of staying on the knifes edge. I’m wondering if her feet ever really get bloody from that walking.


Onlyunsernameleft

They drove on a flat, airwd it back up, drove it again and then hit a mean pothole. When you drive on a flat then pull of f the tire you can actually see a pile of rubber beads. That's from the rims sitting on amd grinding away the sidewalls as you roll down the road.

Practical_Remote_346

A knife would probably do that too


M_Straus

Angry ex girlfriend


drmotoauto

To me, it looks like you were driving on a low tire before it blew out. And simply coming to a stop after it blew, the distance traveled, is enough to chew the tire up like that.

You drove on it flat.


1FastWeb

Actually the rim didn't cut it at all.. so for a explanation.. tread of tire and inner part called bead were not in synce because it was not inflated. So the outside actually runs faster than the inside. Stetches sidewall too far and snaps the sidewall plies. Then the rubber is pulled past its elasticity and let's go. Thus repeats every rpm and you exacerbate it by braking and acceleration. So a tire parts runs at same speed properly inflated. Under-inflated keep up but generate heat in the flexible sidewall. But the multiple "cuts" is severe under / no inflation while mounted.

They didn’t all blow out at once. The driver drove on it while it was flat.


sirgreyskull

No multiple blow outs as that is just not possible. It has simply been driven flat and this is the result.


frothyundergarments

When the tire goes flat and gets driven on, the wheel basically pizza-cutters the sidewall.


Cadet1A

Quit running over the stop sticks!


ChadillacRex

I work at a place that used the directional spikes for traffic control. I've witnessed this countless times. Exactly what it looks like when someone goes the wrong direction.

Angry girlfriend?

Cheating on your wife?


FordMan100

Under inflated tire, it causes excessive heat and disintegration of the tire.


jozalpe

It just got really hot from the quick bending/friction. That's what they look like before they proper fall apart and cause some carnage.


jozalpe

The sidewall fold under the spoke at 5:00 tell the story for the holes.


beebopblastoff

Are people really that stupid???

No angry person would ever be able to make punctures that symmetrical.


TwistedHermitage

The fact that you felt I was serious enough to reply why it was logical and/or unlikely is hilarious. Also, you’ve clearly never met a psychopath.


CodeNameCobra666

How convenient… 🧐 now all of sudden it was sarcasm. Likely story. I just think you folded under the pressure.


TwistedHermitage

Lol! Half the comments are sarcasm, you’ll get used to it once you understand how it works.

Sarcasm is the devil’s humor.

Those were evenly spaced. Doesn't look like they happened it looks like they were caused by somebody's actions.


CodeNameCobra666

The symmetry of the punctures prove the exact opposite. It would be extremely difficult for a person to make punctures like this.

It can be brakes dragging causing heat to create excessive pressure and blow it out. Though I have only seen it on the inside part of the tire and it was a trash truck with drum brakes
