Missed this in post trip because it was hidden. (First picture) Plus I was tired and hungry (bad combination.) Luckily I caught it in pre trip. Roll forward to get a better look and picture for road assist.

Oh, that ain't good! 0500960001554281449.jpg

Got REALLY lucky the tire didn't blow. What might have caused this you ask. The craters on I-80/I-90 turnpike in Indiana!

Now that I think about yesterday. Should have known something was up but I thought the weird vibration was just the road.

Oh yeah, front drives were just replaced mid January. Less than 30k miles on them and now this one is trashed.

Yikes, nice catch! And a great example of the importance of attention to your tires.

Wish I'd have caught it yesterday. Would have saved me a lot of time today.

Here’s a tip—if you have the time and space, when you are parking for a ten hour break, take a good look at all the tires during your GOAL at your parking spot. Once shutdown, get out and check them again, and do it in a reverse order of the way you normally look at them.
