New rear tires (scary story)

I knew I was going to need tires soon. I could see the wear bars beginning to show. Not bad, but getting there. Then I started to hear an odd noise from the rear of my car. The ride didn't seem very smooth either.

Now keep in mind most of my driving is highway miles (70+ mph)

I got down low and looked at the tires and could see on the passenger side a worn spot.



Well damn it. No procrastinating, time for the purchase. At the shop to get them put on, I noticed that they were worse than that!



Awww hell. I feel foolish. How could I have let them get that bad?!

Well wait. It gets worse.



Putting my phone inside the tire, still on the car, but on the lift.



Thank you lord for sending the guardian angel that was looking after me. I can't believe that I didn't have a blowout.

Go easy on me people. I'm plenty angry with myself.
