Speaking of tire blow outs...

[heatherrae]

I had a tire blow out yesterday on the way to Wal Mart. The side wall, for some reason, just exploded. ??? Anyway, I swerved all over but got control of the car and steered it into Wal Mart for service. Scary though. Dang, $150 out of the budget this month...lol.

dev was in his car seat in the back. I'm just glad we didn't hit anyone or get messed up. I'm glad we were not on the highway travelling fast.

I wouldn't let anyone at my local wal-mart touch my car with a 10' pole...

Just a tire change, oil change and tire balance. Surely they got that right.

Scketch is on to something there, do they check your old tire to see if defective?

haha...As some of you know I own/work at a dealership and you wouldn't believe some of the stuff I see that the local walmart service dept. has done. LMFAO! I don't know if they're all that bad, but this one is horrible.

Oil change 19.95
Rotate and balance tires $20-30


Paying $100 110 dollars for a fisherprice tire at WallyWorld

priceless





You had no other choice tho

Oh yeah...I was almost to their parking lot when it happened and rode on the rim there. I didn't want to get out with the baby in the back seat in order to put the spare on. It was hot and all.

The tire probably was defective, but no one was hurt. No harm. No foul.
