Lol RIP my front right tire. · 4:37am Nov 19th, 2020
My tire just fell apart on the freeway, ha ha. Fortunately I signed up for AAA a few weeks ago and was able to get over to the margin safely and have someone else pick up my bags to take over my delivery shift. AAA is here now changing it out with the spare. So while this sucks, you know, it could be a lot worse, really this is just keeping me from one shift of work and I'll have to buy a new tire. 
rip
At least you're ok. A blowout on the highway could be... pretty bad.

It honestly went pretty much as well as a blow out on the freeway could go. I heard a noise and it started to get louder and louder and my car was trying to shake a bit and I was like OK one of my tires is falling apart I need to get off the road, fortunately there was no one really behind me on the freeway so I was able to slow down while I pulled across five lanes into the comfortably wide margin.
Oof. Yeah, glad you got out of that safely!
That tire looks like it should have been changed 25,000 miles ago. Glad you're okay, but in the future, take a look at used tire shops. Often times they'll have name brand tires with 90% life for less than half price.
That tire was well beyond cooked. It also looks like you might want to get your alignment checked because of the uneven wear on the tread.
man, your tire got fuccc'd o.o

Lol I was literally planning on getting my alignment checked today because my car’s been bouncing a bit.
Holy shit. I've been there; that's fucking scary. I remember one break (Thanksgiving break, I think) when I was travelling home across several states from college to my home. Suddenly, I felt one wheel start to act funny, so with a mounting awareness that I had only seconds to react, I pulled over to the center shoulder. Got out to check and sure enough, there I was with a flat tire on the middle of the interstate in the middle of Tennessee. I still have some of the pieces of rubber in my old coat pocket.
I can't recall any sort of pop or bang or anything with mine. You said you heard a noise?

Yeah but it wasn’t like an explosive noise, it was a rumbling noise, because my tire was in the process of falling apart.
