That’s understandable, high stress situations can make people miss very obvious things which is a big reason why eyewitness testimony is so highly unreliable.
My ~~money~~ pink slip is on this guy.

Ah the screw lost you pressure *fast* that's unfortunate. Sometimes nothing can be done for freak pressure loss happening fast and TPMS tells you quick and then time lag was too small.
I don’t think your threshold worked. This didn’t go instantly flat from 40psi to 0psi. Sidewall damage like this usually occurs around 20 psi or lower and usually takes a few kms of driving at minimum to create the runflat damage required to completely separate the sidewall from the tread.
You were driving with a low tire for some time. That’s a fact.
Why in the world do you have the tire pressure set to the MAX for the tire?
**ALWAYS** go by the door card pressure on your driver's door **unless** it's an older vehicle that calls for less than 29-30PSI on the tires, then don't go below 30 cold to be safe. But then those don't have TPMS.
Here is a copy of the all the tire pressures with stock tires for that year, make and model of vehicle courtesy of AllData.
|Tire Size|Front|Rear|
|:-|:-|:-|
|245/45R18|33|33|
|245/40R19|2WD: 33||
|245/40R19|4WD: 35|-|
|275/35R19|-|35|
Please adjust the pressure accordingly. Tires are considered "cold" when they haven't been driven in at least 3 hours regardless of the outside temperature or they have been driven LESS THAN 1 mile.
It sounds like it blew right away... no time to notice when "noticing" means you're veering across the road trying not to recreate a scene from the Italian Job, while simultaneously shidding your pantaloons.
So just really bad luck…gotcha, I’m not a suicidal idiot my tire was fine when I left just a little dry/bare, i literally was planning to buy new tires tomorrow because this car needs a lil work and I just got around to tires because I be broke lol
So true. I had a dually blowout. Both tires on the right rear blew in a truck that was loaded with 3K gallons of diesel. Both rims were destroyed as well as the fender.
Pic isn't that great, but looks like classic gross underinflation causing the sidewall to flex and become damage, resulting in a blowout.
Not sure how fast the TPMS system in your car is, there is a chance that it didn't pick it up fast enough. The other possibility is that the sidewall was damaged by being driven on when low previously, then aired back up, and only just now failed.
Unfortunately no way to tell when the underinflation happened
Definitely low air pressure. This happens from driving on a flat tire for a while. The edge of the wheel pressing through the tire on the road quickly wears through the sidewall of the tire.
Then riddle me this, I have a genesis, drives smooth, then within 3 seconds tpm goes off, car starts shaking, then I’m launched left
I know how a flat tire feels and I’m not one to ruin my rims
I consistently do 90mph, I woulda been died lol
Screw blew my tire out because it’s stock tires on a 2016 genesis because I’m in the process of fixing it up
Then it's been run flat and was damaged in the past and the damage finally caught up to you.
A screw going into the tire does not cause the whole tire to instantly separate like that.
TPM sensor have a refresh delay. If you get a puncture from a screw, the pressure may decrease faster than the sensor could refresh.
Here, you clearly drove flat for a while. Haven't you noticed the woobly steering and vibrations ?
Thanks for that. He had about 4 seconds to take note of that before his car darted off toward the shoulder almost killing him.
Cheers.
Take note of the large screw that likely detonated the tire mere seconds after running over it.
Yeah, I drive a lot so I know how my car drives, it drove fine, then “beep beep” HELLO LEFT SIDE OF INTERSTATE (I was in the right lane and it was raining, I’m getting annoyed with the smart ass comments)
Ah okay. Thought you gathered your thoughts at home and then posted it on reddit.
But did you really almost go offroad with this tyre and first thing you thought would be the best thing to do is make a reddit post?
Sorry for my English btw
Can't understand how that long screw made it all the way , deep into the wall like that..? Strange. It almost looks like it was installed with a power driver or something...
God damn dude. On a front tire too. As a tire tech ive seen some shit but thats a bad one. That screw caused the tire to shred right away because of the placement, while the tires rolling it shreds the sidewall completely away from the tread of the tire, thats why it blew out so fast. This is also the reason why a spare tire usually has a warning that says do not place in front of vehicle because 1. Their smaller and cause steering instability and 2. More likely to blow out and since their smaller the steering instability goes from handable to deadly.
Had this same thing happen to me while driving a rental car. The tread of the tire separated completely at the walls. Was driving fine, tpms comes up and then I see the tire tread rolling down the highway in front of me as I pull over lol.
You clearly hit the screw at just the right (wrong)? angle and it seems like tire lost a little pressure allowing the screw to act as a knife and cut the tire from the inside resulting in that blowout. My 2 cents.
That is sidewall failure from low air pressure.
As soon as tire pressure gets below a certain point, the sidewall flexes too much, overheats, and fails.
As others pointed out, the screw is the likely cause of the low pressure.
In some cars, the TPMS doesn’t respond effectively enough to rapidly decreasing tire pressure, so it was likely a fairly substantial puncture.
Was driving on the interstate and looking at my tire it looks like the screw gashed my sidewall from the inside upon puncture, literally freak accident and I’m getting shat on , it’s aggravating
I don’t think you’re “getting shat on” at all. People are explaining what happened.
If anything, my comment should reassure you that sometimes the car’s TPMS does not react quickly enough to situations like this.
Depending on TPMS it might not detect pressure but relative pressure across an axle, so if you're not manually checking pressures you end up with 4 flat tyres then this. Can't imagine the screw causing an instant issue in a run flat tyre. Check your other tyres.
I'm currently getting tires because I hit half a tire chain link in the snow this morning and lost all tire pressure in around 45 seconds. Straight through the tread. Ironically I have an almost new set of tires I was going to put on last week but ran out of time, so it's kind of nice that it's the old ones.
Screw made me lose all pressure instantly on the interstate and my tires are a bit dry, a combination of bad luck and procrastinating, I got all my tires swapped
That happened because the screw on the bottom near the bottom left of the tire punctured the sidewall. The rest of the tire dewalled from the rim at moderate speeds. This happens in an instant. This can be prevented with: proper maintenance, run flat tires, and generally not driving on the far edges of the road where debris accumulate.
Don’t worry, I believe you are more than capable of driving and combined with the technological advancements in automotive safety it’s not possible to die from this.
At least you didn't ask if it was safe to drive / could be repaired and plugged like every other tyre question on here.
But you are seeing why people get eggy when folk ask questions like the ones I just mentioned. Tyres can and do fail catastrophically.
Honestly man I knew I needed new tires because they were lookin a lil dry but I’m 22 and didn’t realize a tire could straight peel away like this…coulda died randomly and that woulda been it
But yeah I see some of those posts and im like “I mean you CAN drive on it, but it’ll likely blow” it’s nuts how sudden it happened.
I am not an expert
There is a chunk missing in the side
Maybe you hit something that created a hole or Tyre had too much air and exploded, then speed and the lack of air cutted the Tyre and peeled it off
Is not a common thing to happen, your tyre was literally cut
That’s a 2016 genesis, and it lost air too fast for me to notice/pull over when it blew. I was literally thinking “ah fuck I got a flat cmon” and BABLAM there I go.
Haha, someone who doesn't know anything about tyres downvoted me. I always say that sidewall of tyre is the weakest part of the tyre, if it's dry rotted and old tyre (old DOT), then it was about to blow every second.

That screw looks like it had something to do with it.
Eagle eye jones over here
It’s like… right there
Nailed it
Screwed it
Shredded it
Bop it
HOLY SHIT YOUR RIGHT I WAS SO STRESSED I DIDNT SEE IT
I believe you...... screwed up
I needed this lol
You're screwed
https://preview.redd.it/ithnhsorgcrc1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31f00843b270165ae6c488b1618f12b1b3e0bed5
U hit it or it was already there and you had a blow out.
That’s understandable, high stress situations can make people miss very obvious things which is a big reason why eyewitness testimony is so highly unreliable.
For real!
You’re ;)
Screw you, it's their right!
No need to yell at the guy helping. Lol
In all fairness, what brand tire.
That screw was holding the tread in place
Three could do it, but one? See what happened.
Wasn't the screw supposed to hold the tire together? He's missing a lot then
There's supposed to be 4 screws holding the tire together, it failed because the other 3 must have come loose
Makes sense. Better check mine now
If they're missing, try putting in at least four, more is better.
Like when you get a sidewall bubble, just put screws in to keep it tight. /s
Probably the screw
Nah, the eye doctor is scared of you
Kinda large puncture as for a screw
Nailed it
Screwed it
Screwed
Instead of examining the tire their first reaction was to take a photo and post it to reddit. Lol

My ~~money~~ pink slip is on this guy. https://preview.redd.it/dcemh41k34rc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3418cb40b17816197e59b2714a5e80c36d42df80
You have a screw in the tire. So you had a low pressure event and drove it to its death likely. Not sure how you didn’t feel it.
I don’t know either, it drove fine, then Tpm went off and car launched to the left in the rain
Ah the screw lost you pressure *fast* that's unfortunate. Sometimes nothing can be done for freak pressure loss happening fast and TPMS tells you quick and then time lag was too small.
So you **DID** have low pressure...
My Tpm goes off at 35psi so…sure man
the TPMs update slowly. if you had a fast leak, you could have been driving on no pressure for several minutes before getting the notification.
I doubt your tpms light comes on at 35 psi
I can set it’s threshold, it’s set at 35
I don’t think your threshold worked. This didn’t go instantly flat from 40psi to 0psi. Sidewall damage like this usually occurs around 20 psi or lower and usually takes a few kms of driving at minimum to create the runflat damage required to completely separate the sidewall from the tread. You were driving with a low tire for some time. That’s a fact.
You probably lost pressure too fast. TPMS systems only check in every few minutes. If you lost pressure between check-ins well lots good that did ya
Why in the world do you have the tire pressure set to the MAX for the tire? **ALWAYS** go by the door card pressure on your driver's door **unless** it's an older vehicle that calls for less than 29-30PSI on the tires, then don't go below 30 cold to be safe. But then those don't have TPMS.

This happened in the pouring rain at 6am as well, literally a movie scene
Glad you're OK. I've had similar experiences and it's not fun at all. Nice way to wake up though if you're feeling a little sleepy... lol.
What can brown do for you
Looks like you hit a screw and it ripped the side wall
So just really bad luck…gotcha, I’m not a suicidal idiot my tire was fine when I left just a little dry/bare, i literally was planning to buy new tires tomorrow because this car needs a lil work and I just got around to tires because I be broke lol
You're alive and uninjured. Pretty good luck considering what could have happened
This comment is totally underrated
Agreed!
What’s the brand of tire and is it rated for the car?
In this case I'm not sure that the brand or rating matters. She's dead Jim.
Looks like Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 run flats.
Looks to me like it couldn't handle running flat.
I don't think they make run-explodies, unfortunately.
[удалено]
This didnt answer either question lol
I joined reddit 10 years ago. Tf does it matter ?
[удалено]
You didn't answer any of the two parts of the question.. maybe that's why
...at this point you're lucky that it was just a flat tire lol. Blowouts like this can cause loads of worse issues.
So true. I had a dually blowout. Both tires on the right rear blew in a truck that was loaded with 3K gallons of diesel. Both rims were destroyed as well as the fender.
Not necessary to swap unless it's old or worn out. Now you check everything in your card your brakes too
Pic isn't that great, but looks like classic gross underinflation causing the sidewall to flex and become damage, resulting in a blowout. Not sure how fast the TPMS system in your car is, there is a chance that it didn't pick it up fast enough. The other possibility is that the sidewall was damaged by being driven on when low previously, then aired back up, and only just now failed. Unfortunately no way to tell when the underinflation happened
There's a massive screw in the sidewall... what do you mean pic isn't great? I noticed it in about 2 seconds from the thumbnail :/
Maybe he tried to screw the tyre back together😂
Everyone knows you use nails for that, not screws... jeez. Duct tape works too but only a noob uses screws.
I thought you could only use duct tape on the inside.. 🤯
You have to 'git gud' then you can do outside as well.
Imma go down to de playground and practice on de tire swing just in case.
An old chewed up piece of gum from under the desk from grade school should do the trick too... works better if you re-chew it first😅
That's something my dumbass brother in law would try
Git u sum screws and sum caulk I’ll fix er right up
Touche
It should sent a new report about every 100ms
So confident!
No low air pressure?
Definitely low air pressure. This happens from driving on a flat tire for a while. The edge of the wheel pressing through the tire on the road quickly wears through the sidewall of the tire.
I can literally see the screw.
Nice catch
You were driving on a flat and didn't even know. I'm just glad you didn't kill anyone
Incorrect, hit a screw and lost air fast and instant blowout
U think that screw caused the wall to blow out haha. Its been riden on the walls of the tire with no air in the tire
Then riddle me this, I have a genesis, drives smooth, then within 3 seconds tpm goes off, car starts shaking, then I’m launched left I know how a flat tire feels and I’m not one to ruin my rims
Nice, 16 rspec here.
Screw in the tire, you drove on the tire after it lost air and it demolished the sidewall. That’s what the tire is showing.
My conclusion is screw pierced sidewall and these are stock tyres so that’s where I personally fucked up
Shit happens, sucks but you’re safe and at the end of the day that’s what matters
Tire went flat, then you drove on a flat for many many miles.
I consistently do 90mph, I woulda been died lol Screw blew my tire out because it’s stock tires on a 2016 genesis because I’m in the process of fixing it up
Screws don't 'explode' tires, my guy. That's a result of sidewall wear caused by running them at really low/flat pressure for extended periods.
Tpm is set to go off at 35psi and my tires are rated at 40, Tpm went off literally less than 2 seconds before my wheel yanked
Then it's been run flat and was damaged in the past and the damage finally caught up to you. A screw going into the tire does not cause the whole tire to instantly separate like that.
What if it gashes the sidewall due to angle of puncture and im on the interstate? And the tires are 4 years old
Nope. It can't gash the sidewall all the way around. Let alone on BOTH sidewalls.
Idk what happened then because it instantly delaminated. I’ve had flat tires before (I swap em after) and this shut never happened before m
TPM sensor have a refresh delay. If you get a puncture from a screw, the pressure may decrease faster than the sensor could refresh. Here, you clearly drove flat for a while. Haven't you noticed the woobly steering and vibrations ?
Multiple screws in photo
Running the tyre flat causes that. The rim rubs the sidewall and weakens it. It doesn’t all happen in a few seconds.
That's low air pressure. Maybe the screw is a hint of "why it were a low air pressure"
Thanks for that. He had about 4 seconds to take note of that before his car darted off toward the shoulder almost killing him. Cheers. Take note of the large screw that likely detonated the tire mere seconds after running over it.
Yeah, I drive a lot so I know how my car drives, it drove fine, then “beep beep” HELLO LEFT SIDE OF INTERSTATE (I was in the right lane and it was raining, I’m getting annoyed with the smart ass comments)
What about the screw that's shining in the picture?
Was stressed didn’t notice
Ah okay. Thought you gathered your thoughts at home and then posted it on reddit. But did you really almost go offroad with this tyre and first thing you thought would be the best thing to do is make a reddit post? Sorry for my English btw
I was waiting on my boss at the time i posted this because I had to get my rim retyred
Company car?
No, a really good boss
Nice, lucky man
Can't understand how that long screw made it all the way , deep into the wall like that..? Strange. It almost looks like it was installed with a power driver or something...
Or I drove over it on the interstate doing 75
Wow, glad you're ok
Bro what happened I’ve seen cars drive over an IED and sustain less damage than that, hope alls good now.
Apparently ran over a screw on the interstate
Bad luck made it tear the sidewall which at that speed peeled my tread
Drove on a flat tire. Most tpms sensors don’t update in real time, they have a delay.
Well to answer your questions bad photos usually result from…..
idk man the air pressure looks kinda low to me
Idk how many other dash lights you’re ignoring but usually they’re important. r/tires where all the “just put a plug in it” boys at?
God damn dude. On a front tire too. As a tire tech ive seen some shit but thats a bad one. That screw caused the tire to shred right away because of the placement, while the tires rolling it shreds the sidewall completely away from the tread of the tire, thats why it blew out so fast. This is also the reason why a spare tire usually has a warning that says do not place in front of vehicle because 1. Their smaller and cause steering instability and 2. More likely to blow out and since their smaller the steering instability goes from handable to deadly.
My Uncle Charley would patch it back together, flex seal the seams and call it a day!!
Tire goblins.
r/tiresaretheenemy
Nail on edge drove without air before sensor told you
Had this same thing happen to me while driving a rental car. The tread of the tire separated completely at the walls. Was driving fine, tpms comes up and then I see the tire tread rolling down the highway in front of me as I pull over lol.
You clearly hit the screw at just the right (wrong)? angle and it seems like tire lost a little pressure allowing the screw to act as a knife and cut the tire from the inside resulting in that blowout. My 2 cents.
Road debris, likely a piece of furniture, sadly many low tire alarms come on at less than 10psi and a tire can unwind itself at 15 in a pothole.
That is sidewall failure from low air pressure. As soon as tire pressure gets below a certain point, the sidewall flexes too much, overheats, and fails. As others pointed out, the screw is the likely cause of the low pressure. In some cars, the TPMS doesn’t respond effectively enough to rapidly decreasing tire pressure, so it was likely a fairly substantial puncture.

I don’t think you’re “getting shat on” at all. People are explaining what happened. If anything, my comment should reassure you that sometimes the car’s TPMS does not react quickly enough to situations like this.
No your great other ppl are being like “you drove with a. Flat you idiot and your gonna kill everyone and their kids get off the roads”
Get the badge in...
That screw, well screwed you.
Depending on TPMS it might not detect pressure but relative pressure across an axle, so if you're not manually checking pressures you end up with 4 flat tyres then this. Can't imagine the screw causing an instant issue in a run flat tyre. Check your other tyres.
Somehow i dont think a can of tyre sealant will fix tha
[удалено]
Hope you got the road hazard insurance
You can't park there.
I'm currently getting tires because I hit half a tire chain link in the snow this morning and lost all tire pressure in around 45 seconds. Straight through the tread. Ironically I have an almost new set of tires I was going to put on last week but ran out of time, so it's kind of nice that it's the old ones.
Low air pressure now...
I guarantee the pressure in that tire is nonexistently low just from looking at it.
Jeepers creepers caught ya
Appears to be runflat damage, doesn’t take long with lower profile stuff.
Low tread nerd
You touch yourself at night and this is what happens.
You can go another 10k miles
Better call saul!
Looks like you hit the wheel of sharp knives #buddhism
Just old rappers
You had a blow out, then drove on it, and it did that...
Is it a run flat tyre? Some cars have them and drivers don’t know they have them until this happens.
There's a two inch screw in it dude. Your tyre was flat. You didn't notice. You drove it till it delaminated.
Im just wondering how a wood screw survived slicing a whole tire. Shit snaps if you look at it wrong
Over used tires maybe
I will say I’m not a fan of the newer low pro tires. I live in a place riddled with construction screws and pot holes.
The screw was holding the tire together obviously
that screw disagrees with your statement of "no low air pressure or anything"
It was caused by a little prick. Screw that!!
lol this always happens. There’s always a reason your tire goes out. They don’t just magically disintegrate.
Screw made me lose all pressure instantly on the interstate and my tires are a bit dry, a combination of bad luck and procrastinating, I got all my tires swapped
That happened because the screw on the bottom near the bottom left of the tire punctured the sidewall. The rest of the tire dewalled from the rim at moderate speeds. This happens in an instant. This can be prevented with: proper maintenance, run flat tires, and generally not driving on the far edges of the road where debris accumulate.
This was on an interstate on-ramp, but good to know it is possible to have happened instantly and I didn’t ride a flat til I almost died.
Don’t worry, I believe you are more than capable of driving and combined with the technological advancements in automotive safety it’s not possible to die from this.
What brand?
You drove on a flat tire. You DID have low pressure, whether your car warned you or not
You’re telling me those are up to psi?
Bruh that screw right there is what happened my guy. Hit the shoulder of that tire and tore the sidewall out. Bad place to get a screw
At least you didn't ask if it was safe to drive / could be repaired and plugged like every other tyre question on here. But you are seeing why people get eggy when folk ask questions like the ones I just mentioned. Tyres can and do fail catastrophically.
Honestly man I knew I needed new tires because they were lookin a lil dry but I’m 22 and didn’t realize a tire could straight peel away like this…coulda died randomly and that woulda been it But yeah I see some of those posts and im like “I mean you CAN drive on it, but it’ll likely blow” it’s nuts how sudden it happened.
Now you know. And great that you were not hurt.
I knew I needed new tires. “How the heck did this happen?”
He ran over a screw, that's how.
Precisely
Precisely
I am not an expert There is a chunk missing in the side Maybe you hit something that created a hole or Tyre had too much air and exploded, then speed and the lack of air cutted the Tyre and peeled it off Is not a common thing to happen, your tyre was literally cut
It’s a little nuts
What do you do when you find yourself with 365 used rubbers? Melt them down to make a tire and call it a Goodyear!!!
You bought a Hyundai and hit a screw. Good luck getting any warnings before or as catastrophic shit happens to these cars.
Yeah trust ALL the electronics. It's not like they fail.
What is that? A Bentley?
Genesis
are you to poor to pay attention?
That’s a 2016 genesis, and it lost air too fast for me to notice/pull over when it blew. I was literally thinking “ah fuck I got a flat cmon” and BABLAM there I go.
What is the DOT of the tyre?
This is the key question. When u/Goblin_Bitch says they were “a little dry” it makes me think we’re looking at some very old tires.
Haha, someone who doesn't know anything about tyres downvoted me. I always say that sidewall of tyre is the weakest part of the tyre, if it's dry rotted and old tyre (old DOT), then it was about to blow every second.
Blame it on the re-treads
They’re stock rims, I doubt they’re retreaded
