God I hate crap on the road & Semi's!
 

So Im cruising up an on ramp (60 mph) and merging onto the interstate. I merge in behind a semi and decide to get in the left lane and get up to my usual cruise of 75. Except as soon as I start to pass him bam big piece of sh** in the middle of the road, didnt even have time to blink and my left front tire ate it. The sidewall is completely shredded with 2-3 good rips in it.

Poor 2 month old Yoko Neova :(

Who wants to loan me $230 ? :rolleyes:

man that sucks sorry...ive learned from experiences to stay as far away from semis as possible..no good can come from being behind one of them..

Ouch sorry man! Neovas are expensive too!! Off topic, other than this little mishap, how do you like your Neovas?

There was a big cardboard piece in the road on my way home, everyone was freaking out at the last second and stuff, I saw what it was (could clearly tell nothing was in it or behind it or anything) so i ran it over at 80mph and it got thrown a bit to the side so i helped =P

I absolutely love them; that is why I am so sad this happened. Other than the expense I have to wait 2-3 days to get a replacement I'd imagine. That is the only downside to these tires, TireRack doesnt have road hazard on them.
