Recently my front left wildcat M/T tire got a flat it ripped on the top of the tire. Now the spare is on, but my front right has some shallow cuts on it all from wheeling, should I drive it down to OR tonight? my cousins wedding is tomorow. Whats the chances of it blowing up on the free way? its about a 3 hour drive

Pray to buddah that you make, and just dont say "thank god" at any time. (getting that from a good joke. someone here has probably heard it.)

I wouldnt know though. Id say you have a 50/50 shot of making it pending on how bad cuts are... i have bout good as guess as you do though.

I would be more worried about the condition the spares in than the right front with the shallow cuts...although it really depends on how significant the cuts are...if theyre enough to get you worried, I wouldn't do it. And as for the spare, is it a full size or a donut?

littlecommando

i would not drive it all the way down there, blowouts on the highway are not fun, expecaly if you do not have a spare

the spare is also a full size 31" wildcat M/T and Im getting a spare later today. If I blow out on the freeway will the truck go crazy and start flippin and ?

If you blow out on the highway you could go 'oh, there goes the tire' and pull over to the shoulder, or you could lose total control, fly up into the air, land on the roof, and roll into a cow pasture. If you're gonna do it, I'd make the 3 hour drive last more like 4 and a half, just bring a bag of chips and an extra cd or two. Take it slowly and you probably won't die.

common sense says don't do it... You have already pointed out problems with at least two tires, why risk it?

a4runnerfreak

Just put the "new" spare on, when you get it, and then make your trip. I'd rather get in late tonight, safely, then try and run a risk of NOT getting there. Ya know?

g_mau18

haha 4 runner freak im gunna be passing cougar, if i crash imma call you and come over for a hot shower and some dinner.

a4runnerfreak

If ya crash, don't trip, I'll come get ya, and feed ya. But you'll be showering by yourself......lol.
If your worried, I'll pm you my number, just in case. But remember, there is no cell service up here, except in a few remote spots....

Just to let everyone know...Wildcat's suck! I have the AT's and my bro has MT's....and his are horribly cupped and wear so funny and mine are worse than street tires.

Just buy a spare

Where in OR are you going?

FredTJ

How can anyone tell you dude ?
You need to hold the computer closer to the tire so we can see it

Really though, how could anyone here have a clue about your chances without seeing it and such ?


Fred

g_mau18

would there be a way to avoid a blowout? airing up or down the tires? something?

91Toyota

You'll be fine. You'd be amazed with what you can drive with. Would you like to see a pic of the tires on my 75 Chevy truck. It literally had cracks ALL the way around the tire. I sold it and still have the tires

FredTJ

Yes.....
