Default PSA: Disco will destroy flat tire in 50 yards

PSA for everyone. A disco will destroy a flat tire if you drive on it for 50 yards. Wife jumped in on today while I was at work and did not notice the tire was flat on the LR. She made it to the neighbors house before she turned around. This is what I came home to.


Like I didn't have enough work to do already

Looks like she drove over a set of spike strips!

Old AF, but worked fine as long as it had air in it.

Yeah, that tire looks awfully old...trying to read date code...does that end in 06? The cracks in the treads are huge.

The tread is all over the yard, the driveway, and everywhere else. There were pieces everywhere. She said - it was making a funny wobbly feeling and a loud noise, so I put it back in the driveway.
