WTF - My BFG's swallowed a softball

[General of Darkness]

It's funny that this happened today considering I've got some new tires arriving tomorrow.

I've never seen anything like that. Is it just the sidewalls going? How old are your tires?

They're about 1.5 years old and only have 40K on them. I'm going with the Toyo MT's this time around, I've read nothing but great things about them.

I used to get over 7 years out of my BFG's on my old Jeep Wrangler, years ago. Sounds like the quality went down.

I've heard Toyo's are good. I'm really surprised that tire you have there still holds air. Amazing she didn't blow out.

Hernia ,operate at once.......................

Sidewall belt is ruptured. Violent blowout imminent. I wouldn't drive that truck before you get another tire.

The hernia analogy is actually very accurate.

Put some duct tape on it...road trip!

Nah, that's just a bulge! 6-10 adjustments and it should be fine!

was it parked next to a woman's car, like a Pink Prius with pastel sidewalls ?

Talked the dealership into buying me a new tire after this happened.
