Default My Toyo T1S Exploted at 81mph

I was driving in the highway at around 81mph (130kmk) when I heared a sound similar to something hit my tire/fender and at the same time like a Boom, but the car still running ok. I reduce the speed but I dont feel anything in the steering I increased the spedd to 75mph, I started to feel some vibrations and sliding and then go off tho the sttet and parking. Mu tire had a BIG Cutting Hole. I almost run 10 minutes after the Boom, umm I flat run. The explote tire was in the back left side
Maybe the low profile 45 and my Eibachs:D help me top maintain the control of my Mazda 6. I change for my spare rim/tire 205/55 R16 and went to the tire store only
$$$$. 160.00:rant.
Photos later

Maybe the eibachs increased the chance of a blown tired? J/king... that line doesn't make sense...

Well sucks to hear that, at least there weren't any more damage except to the tire. Could've been worse....good that you're ok. Oh yeah, car looks great with the eibachs...

I think it looks like a puncture. Just the piece didn't stick around in the gash.
