I got the wheel off, and the crack is actually pretty big. Alex is gonna swing by my job today and if I can get the tire off of it early enough, it could possibly be fixed by late next week is my guess. He has the new barrel in stock.

Kevin....yeah, that is pretty big.

You hit something, I think you said, that was what prompted you to check it in the first place?

Good thing you caught that.

When I go up really steep driveways my rears rub the coilovers. I rotated my tires so at one point these were in the rear, which is why they are really flat on the edge of the inner barrels (if you noticed).

Actually no haha. I had driven that road many times before, but not that often when I was super low. The reason I changed route was because last week there was a reported shooter on one of the freeways I take to work, and my mom advised me to avoid taking that freeway because some of the exits may be blocked, so traffic might be bad. I took a completely different way, and found that there was zero traffic, no matter the day. I had been taking that route for about three days, and on the fourth day I got up for work and noticed that when I was driving my car, it was pulling to the left really badly. The air pressure was pretty low on that tire by the time I had to go to work. I drove it the night before and it was fine, so I think it cracked the day before, and was slowly leaking air throughout the night. I checked it when I got to work and there was a crack.
