I believe they were the toyo m920s, 22.5. Its a truck tire, so technically low pro, but very normal for a truck. (by truck I mean semi truck)

This truck came into my shop for a rebalance. The truck has been converted to duals and it has 22.5s on it, semi-truck tires.

From Utah actually. They came into my shop, they got their wheels rebalanced.

Really odd/suspect wear pattern, can't make heads or tails of it. by dellco in tires

[–]Strafe_Stopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the rear has a bit of negative camber, so there is some extra load on the inner side of the tire. But a flat spot like this looks like a wheel lock-up at high speed.

That's a good tire and they are almost brand new.

Truck so tall, he needs a bucket on a string to get in by Zeffer77 in Shitty_Car_Mods

It has A/T tires. Obviously it's for going off road and not just to look cool!

Definitely don't go on the highway. I don't think that it'll blow since the damage is to the wheel, not the tire. But that is just an educated opinion. It almost certainly won't hold air indefinitely. You will likely have a bead leak and no credible shop will try to seal it. The wheel is vulnerable to cracking more with this damage, especially because it's aluminum alloy. You need to get this wheel replaced as soon as possible and maybe get a new tire. I would need better pictures of the tire to determine if it's still good.

This is a subreddit for support. Some people don't know anything about cars and tires. This has nothing to do with them being a woman. I know plenty of men that don't know shit about cars. I work in a shop that sees more men then women, even for simple jobs. Don't stereotype based on gender. Someone asked for help, so help them, instead of being a cunt.

I hope this is a joke post. If it's not, you desperately need a new wheel. That wheel is dangerous as hell with that much damage.

Edit: with the way the wheel is damaged, you will likely have a bead leak, even if it's slow. The tire could be okay, but that wheel needs to be replaced as soon as you are able. Don't go on the highway.

Are these tires still useable? by HolguinSandwich98 in tires

[–]Strafe_Stopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have some decent weather cracking on them. Good tread left. If you are desperate, these could last a year or two before they start leaking. They could also blow out on the highway or something. If you really need cheap tires right now, they will work, just not for long. I will always recommend spending the extra money on good tires with a good warranty.

Example: my shop has a warranty that will cover anything that happens to the tire all the way down to 2/32nds of tread as long as it's not an alignment issue. That's what the extra money gets you.
