 Well...recently i had lowered my car....it looked nice and sporty...i let the spring settle for about 2 1/2 weeks. But i didnt get a tire alignement. my tires were already getting a lil bald. so i took a trip to san diego, half way there my low tire pressure light came on, i didnt pay the light much notice because i thoguht it was the lowering springs that were causeing the light to go on, so i continued to drive 20miles latter i heard a rumbleing and i started to smell some burning rubber so i opted pull over and look at what had happen. i looked my rear driver side tire and i saw the whole side wall with a gash on it about half way aroound the tire. It seems that when i didnt align it after the 2weeks after the springs settled the negative camber plus the fact the tires were bald cause the tearing of the side wall of the tire.

 Atleast you didnt get an accident. New tires is an easy fix, just dont skip the alignment this time
