Okay so yesterday me and some S13 buddies decided let's go have some fun! First my buddy shreds his tire due to some camber wear and half of the tire is practically gone, all the way down to the bar gone. My car was doing okay but it was acting a little funny, but I checked everything out and it seemed fine.

Then it was time for the touge, about two minutes into the mountain.... Well let's just look at the day after pictures.

Something looks a lil odd huh... something is missing... maybe this?

Ooooh its just a lil hole and bend

OMGWTFBBQ!

Yeah my tire wasn't too happy after that. I have learned to bring an extra pair of tires with me from now on. Anyone selling some stock S13 rims with tires?

well seeming how tires are the only thing connecting your car to the road, yeah i'd say you should pay attention to them. sucks that happend though

Good question, since you seem to hint that you bought crappy tires in the subject.

I think they were some crappy Azenis or something like that, they came with the rims and both of them were cheap. So here are my new play toys >=]

Ouuuch! Those look bad. The Rotas (I'm assuming) look good on your car though.
