I would sue whoever put those tires on. Your saying it was a nationwide company so they have money...I would be pissed just to think i could've die just because someone didn't take enough time to look at the rotation pattern on some tires. Anyways, glad to hear you are ok.

Glad your ok. bud. When I turned 20 many years ago I hit a parked car and stuck my head through the windshield. That was the last day of my life that I did not wear a seat belt. Hope feel the same from now on.

Check the integrity of the tie rods and other suspension components as well as the bearings.

The tire installer will likely claim you rotated the tires yourself unfortunately but it's worth a shot.

Glad you lived to tell the tale.

Glad you are OK man.

I just realized something here Not to get off topic but when I bought my Evo, here in Columbus... my dealer had to get it from Family Mitsubishi

Good luck on the next Evo.

Man im really sorry to hear/see that. I have read some much about the things you do with your evo to help people out and it's a shame this had to happen to you of all people! But at least your ok, car can be replaced...

Another evo in your future you think or what?

Damn, man. That's really scary!

Glad you're okay, nobody was hurt, and you're still with us!. The car is material and can be replaced.
