Tires popped

I was on the freeway, and this is after I hit the first rock I posted about

earlier. Well this time I hit a bigger rock on the freeway. And well what

happened is I was driving and I saw two cars ahead of me pushing their

brakes, so I was going to move to my left then back to my right and take

the exit. Well, as I was about to get off the freeway, I look to my left to see

if there's anybody and nobody was there. So as I look at the road ahead of

me there's a rock that was a dot on a 70mph freeway and then I moved

my tires but the rock scraped my wheel and ended up with a flat tire on

the freeway. I safely got out with my car lopsided and ended up buying

new tires at America's Tires called Champiro UHP1 ZR17

Then I called Toyota roadside assistance, got a flatbed towing went to the dealership ended up replacing both my tires and rotating the new ones onto the back and other ones onto the front.

Throughout the day in that same area I met 4 people with their tires popped on the freeway from that same rock. And there's also a lady that hit it and parked next to me in one of my photo's that I probably won't upload.





Not sure what this green stuff is, mechanic at the dealership said everything looks good and we double checked saw nothing. Maybe he doesn't know what it is, do you?




Black rims looks sexy




Damn freeways

A rock...popped your tires...? Nails, I can believe. But a rock popping not only your tires, but other people's? Was this rock made of spikes?

And you STILL didn't take a picture of the rock.

The green stuff is coolant, which belongs inside the radiator and associated plumbing. You need to look for a leak.

No it's not coolant, it's rock blood from all the poor rocks the OP has been killing with the car!

Here are the features of champiro tires:
--------
Four deep, wide circumferential tread grooves provide excellent water channeling and anti-hydroplaning performance

Stable shoulder block with lateral groove reduce tread block movement and ensures quick steering response and cornering grip

Optimized tread block design with integral lateral grooves and sipes provide better wet handling and reduces road noise

Advanced tread compound generates excellent grip in wet and dry conditions, and delivers reduced rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency

40,000 mile limited tread wear warranty
--------


nope doesnt say anything about rock protection

The stock coolant is, correct? Seems OP ran over the Rock of Gibraltar, and needs to at least look.

ETA: Says he and mech did. Maybe OP ran over a Vulcan who put a death-grip on his tires? Either way, I'd damn sure want to know for sure what that is if it was mine.

ETA again: The tire sidewall looks melted. I don't recall seeing a tire run flat for a short distance do that.
Also looks like OP hit an IED rather than a rock!

ETA once more: Man, I'm positive my coolant is green. Gotta go look in the AM!

Not even funny anymore and I just give up!
There has to be a whole lot more behind this then we have ben told.
In the pictures alone there are mysteries galore that just do not line up with the load of crap story we are given:
1) Why is the already a tire laying on the ground in front of the car?
2) Why steel rims? (That appear to be 16")
3) Why is the car exactly in the same spot after the "dealership ended up replacing both my tires and rotating the new ones onto the back and other ones onto the front". (And the stock rim is laying on the ground)
4) Why does the damage on the left look like something flat, straight and sharp was shoved in there? (Damage on right looks like it is from running flat)
5) What are the odds of running into 4 people that hit the same rock (and then mentioned to a stranger) it in San Francisco? (Is San Fran much smaller a town then I always pictured)


I am calling total bullshit and no longer have any sympathy for Squady or whoever he really is
