Message	Once daylight hit, I was shocked how bad it was. Even in the dark it was somewhat obvious...the worst part was getting it onto the flatbed. I've got the flatbed process DOWN when it comes to getting the car on clean, but when the tire is THIS bad, it kept bunching up and getting stuck in the wheel well. Thankfully, I had the spare tire at home, picked it up and drove 2 miles to my friend's tire shop. As usual with my "bad luck", I really got lucky considering. There was NO DAMAGE to the rim. We spun it on the balance machine and it looks great...no minor bends that we can see. Z gods...please let up for a few months! If I can make it to San Antonio in one piece I'll owe ya one! Here's the culprit...something went in on the freeway right in the thinnest part. In the distance from the fast lane to the shoulder it did the below damage. All but a 1" section was ripped clean.
