Well, Sunday at about 4:30 I received my second place trophy plus my bonus reward
I decided I had time to get most of the home travel done so off I go.I got about 45min out towards kalispel when I noticed the car started to pull to the right a little and soon after a wobble. I pulled over and had a look. My tire pressure was down oddly so I pumped it up and listened for a leak, nothing! Ok good to go, I make it 10' down the road and wow it feels like my tire is square. This time I take wheel off after jacking the car and then I see where my extra air went, the inside side wall delaminated and air pushed into it and ballooned it like crazy! See pics.
So now I'm good and f'd. Last thing I wanted was having to hitch a ride back to town and get a tow so I decide to throw on all 4 other tires and goto Missoula because it was the closest at that point and most likely to have a decent set of tires in stock.
I spent the night there and first thing in morning run around to every shop in town, no one had good tires! I ended up having to settle on some crappy Federal 595 tires but at least they got me home and I can still autox on them if I have to.
