    I should have taken a picture for the archives!! Split tire core in the middle of some super cheap "Dean Tires" that came with my VX when I bought her, this weekend!! Bubbled out and started shaking in 90' weather driving 85mph!! Didn't pop but when we removed her you could clearly see the cords inside the tire separated allowing the tire to bulge in the middle!! First time I've ever had a tire come apart while I was driving!! Plenty meat on the tire left, just a poorly made tire, an accident waiting to happen!! Lesson here: Buy decent Tires or drive accordingly to what you have on your hoopty!!

    Thats scary bro!! THese were Kumho and had good mileage on them so I guess I'm gonna blame the VX issues as opposed to the tire. I will for sure be keeping a better eye on the tires from now on though.
