The tire seperated along the belt line. Bad luck. I'll have pics tomorrow. My parents were coming to Shreveport tomorrow, so instead they're coming tonight with my stock fronts.
I'm at a bar watching basketball getting drunk. If life gives you lemons....

it sucks, but no sense getting pissed. The car's fine. That wouldve been a lot worse than replacing a tire.

Pretty well. Still can't get the boost controller to work the way I want it to. I can get it to hold the boost I want, but can hear the wastegate fluttering. Pretty sure that's not suppose to happen.

It sucks, but it's not your fault or anything, just **** luck.
So I got the car jacked, the front wheels on & switched the front to the back. The two OEM front wheels needed air. No big deal.
Got air, only for the "SLIP" light to start flashing at me & the car not revving above like 2200.
Mother ****ing ****.
I'm at a Holiday Inn in Opelousas. I gave up & said, "**** it." I'll deal with it in the morning.

Thanks dood.
This picture's not very good as the iPhone doesn't have a flash & it was dusk, but here's the damage:
The sidewall separated from the contact patch part. My hand's inside the tire.
