Its fried.

As I said earlier, if you can feel the steel belts, its too deep.

"Limp home " use as a spare, at best.

I have been in the tire business for over 30 years.

 

I'm feeling really stupid right now, but I guess thats the learning curve.
*hangs head in defeat*

 

is it still under a warranty from where you bought the tire? it doesnt hurt to find out...maybe check out craigslist for any free tires at least temporarily the used one can be on there till you get some money...

 

Thank you for the help everyone!
I'm going to see about a replacement monday.
Discount tire quote was $233 with mounting and balance too.
They have a shop up here near me.
Now the hard part.......borrowing the money from a family member
I'm also going to put my 2" hocky pucks back in, and trim the s**t outaa those fenders!

naw, I got 'em from 4wdrive, and did not purchase the warranty.
but then again, I didn't foresee this happening either.

 

thats true...the roads are unpredictable, cars are unpredictable as well...my mom is having problems w/ her car so i know how that goes...

 

X2. I'm not gonna lie, that moment of having the front end in the air was almost worth it!
So thats my most expensive wheeling trip yet

 

Warranty is not going to cover physical damage caused by the vehicle to the tire.

It wasn't a workmanship problem with the tire.

 

I am taking it your fenders are trimmed, i am doing going through the same problem, i am going to sand the edges and see if that will, i am bout to get new tires and i dont want this to ruin them, so i will keep ya posted if this helps at all.

 

About another 2-3 mm or so and you would have cut it down to the air.

 

you can trim your fenders a little more, or use some plastic door edge trim/guard, or even bend some 3/8" round stock to form the wheel well and weld that to the fender on the inside. it also makes your fender tuff as hell.

 

Invulnerable to trees?

 

Sanding fender edges won't help. Its a waste of time. They are essentially knife edge sharp when a tire makes contact. The original poster found out the hard way.

You are just going to have to cut them to have a bigger opening if you want to run xtra large tires and go jump your Jeep.

Also a 4-8" lift and multiple shocks.

 

Another waste of time and money.

That might protect your fingers from getting cut when you wash your Jeep, but when that tire smacks that fender, that plastic will be the first thing to split, followed by the tire getting cut up a nanosecond later.

 

depends how far your tire sticks out i guess, but yeah, pretty tough, if you want it to knock trees over, just use 1/2 inch (solid) roundstock. lol.

 

Well..........Good news. I got a replacement for $214 out the door! (mounting and balance too)
Bob's Tire in red bluff ca! They ordered it, and the guy sat on the phone for 15+ minutes trying to track one down for me....very cool. (in case no one knows, this design tire has been discontinued in the u.s., they have moved on to the "KM-2")
"less schwab, more Bob"
lol
