Bit of a bummer, is my tire ruined?

[DGatzby]

Haha indeed...already shared some tears with @DGatzby over this LOL

A friend of mine runs a Discount Tire shop here in town, his national search for 275/40 Michelin PS4s showed only 4 available, he put in a request for 2 and they are supposedly on their way from Florida but he said no guarantees until they actually show up! Hope all goes well...

You could get some 305 rears and wheels for it if all fails

I stuck 305s on stock rear wheels

 

[Smitty]

Yep shit can it. You don’t want that thing blowing at any speed. Next thing ya know you’re riding on the rim and need a new one cause you destroyed the entire bead. Not worth it.

 

[vortecd]

You gotta get some tires on this thing, those are pizza cutters!

Watch that movie all the time and didn't catch he said MelbaToast

I do have 305/35s on the rear on 10.5 inch wide hellcat replica wheels. This sidewall tear is on the front.

So a quick update, I did finally get new tires on the front. Total for 2 installed with warranty/black weights. black TPMS(Tesla part)...$1040 Didn't have much of a choice though. And there were only 4 left in their nationwide inventory as of a couple weeks ago, now there's 2 - or possibly less.

But you have all of those sunny days to be able to drive it.

So....you got that goin' for you....

Which is nice.....

I think.....

Black TPMS?

Why black? Why Tesla?

With black rims, blacking out the lug nuts/center caps(however they are black from the factory now for most cars), wheel weights and exposed part of the TPM just looks so much better to me. My friend at the tire place has been installing these lately, they work just fine with our cars like the factory TPMs do.

In most spots it melts the same day! I have driven on snow with my redeye before - it can be done!!!

Overall you are right, almost every day here is pretty nice, doesn't hurt that there are a lot of open roads and I get to use the car's power on a regular basis. SO MUCH FUN!

Telsa part on a Hellcat? That should be a crime! Though guess corporate Dodge would now be proud of you for starting the transition from real muscle to whatever the hell they are trying now.....

Haven't got quite that far in life yet. Global warming may make me want to gain another 500 feet, though.

And as far as TPMS goes, I use the factory TPMS sensors (color doesn't matter since they're in the tires) with readily available aftermarket black metal valve stems.

Well that’s a good point about the outer stem, if that’s a separate part then why the need to change out the sensor? I will re-check with my friend and see exactly what he did, maybe just swapped out the stem and I didn’t hear him exactly.

 

[EricG]

Ok and so…what he put on my car is a little black-colored nut that is exposed that clamps it all down. So I have 2 tesla nuts on my car, which yes sounds weird. I think Elon has something like 9 kids too BTW, what the hell is he thinking?

Could be to justify having a 4-door?
