So, I wasn't going to make it another hour if I didn't make a pit stop.

See the bulge?

Wheel was shaking. Can smell the tire..

AGAIN?!!!

Dude!!

Why is that tire still on a vehicle? I'd like some more details, but wasn't the last time a sufficient lesson?

*deep breath and sigh* Not fully understanding your post, the tire got changed before what would have been a low-speed blow-out. Before. So.. again, I'm not fully understanding what you're saying.

This one's gonna need an alignment.. brand new tires in the meantime. Solus AX4 (? AXS?) Because they match the rear tread pretty well. No hopping and skipping. Yay.

I'm not putting on a show for the boardt this time, this clearly isnt the car you think it is.. this is why you can't see it nor the tire size in the photo. I could share specific details with you if you want to DM but if not that is totally fine as well. But it's not the other one (which is totally fixed, by the way. Just yeah that shouldn't have happened. Agreed.)

Here is our super duper Simplicity lawn tractor from back in the day, just had a great pre-Memorial Day visit with The Dad.

Met Instagram user DestroyerHaze today, again, as well. With his Destroyer Grey 392 Scat pack Charger with some serious mods...

I can see that I usually don't drink Yuengling. Heh. Time to go get some Modelo..

Pretty risky driving on a tire like that on the street. Blow out at the wrong time could change your, and/or someone else's life.

Well that's why I got it changed.. felt the steering wheel starting to shake, I'm like, "NOPE! Not again."

My boss wasn't even mad, I explained how I'd have a much bigger problem driving on a flat... which usually doesnt turn out well.. all was fine.

Well I know you like to remain incognito, .. past the "AGAIN?!!! Dude!!" I gave a little more general info (it's not the same car nor tires) and if you want to reach out maybe DM.. I could tell you more how I got it changed etc etc etc etc. About that.

If you do.

For now.. goodnight. Going to sleep

Work Friend had a Run-in with a Deer on her way in this morning. Very Rural Road, 4 - 4:30am. ( she lives about 45min drive from the store, scheduled @ 5a)
She's fine. Car is mostly fine aside from the obvious. lights still work, no airbag deployment, drives fine.
Fender did get shoved back JUST enough, that the pass door groaned when she tried to open it to put her bag in there after the Deputy arrived. as soon as it made noise, she stopped, went around to the driver's side and gave it a good pull to make shure the door closed.

Deer ran off. so she doesn't even get the venison.

I’m giving these a try. Put one up in my pole barn and it’s bright. $32 at menards. Pricey for a bulb, but those UFO style lights are more than double that. Motion sensing too so they theoretically could be left on as well.

Garage, utility room, closet, pantry etc.

I'm just commenting on the general state of both tires you've shared with us, both of which have been well beyond safe. I'm just unsure how this tire was able to get into that state, as I expected you to be more vigilant after the previous issue.

Well, again, THIS car needs an alignment, it is presently in the stage of tearing up tires. You can't get around that I had the presence of mind to take care of it BEFORE something happened.. again, please PM for details, I'd provide, it's not the one that you think. Thank you.

I think there is a place here that does alignments on Sundays, since I'm down to two cars, had to part with one. Voluntarily, might I add... because everything else on it is new so. I'm suspecting alignment...

OK, but that tire is REALLY bad, there's no way for you to know it wasn't going to fail in that state. If you knew the alignment was buggered, why not deal with that before it destroyed your tires and cost you considerably more money?
