[inspector01]

I guess i will wait for Bryce or Colin to tell the story, i have a few pics

[KA-T_240]

Didn't roll on the donut.....

We went back to fargo and got his stock rims/tire to put on it.

[inspector01]

Oh, and thanks to faber for bringing a bumper up for me.

ouch

quite the detour

[fromtheashes]

Gross gross gross, just your luck to have something like that happen

[Rexwagon]

yeah we went back to fargo to get a stocker, I didnt have a donut with me anyways so it was necessary.

Hopefully u get some sort of warranty from that, beings its most likely a factory defect... Ya me, josh (1990tsi), dustin (speed_ricer69), and bryant (blackcherrytsi) had quite the long trip coming up (4 hours to get to GF from fergus, due to constant stopping and working on the EK), and weekend in general. Big thanks to trevor (inspector01) for letting us use his garage to fix the EK and get it running right.

I posted the tire on MNsubaru.com and everyone was shocked as well except one guy.........

For those of you who own them or are getting them keep your invoices. there just may be a recal coming soon.

So we will see where this is going to go.

[bubba]

Hmm...looks like i'll hold off on buying another set of those till I hear what the deal is.

[KA-T_240]

I have pretty new rt615s on the 240(less then 8months).......
My old rear had a crack in the sidewall, thats why I took it off.

Time to drive it like a granny car

[Parker]

fyi, i have a wrx spare tire someone could have.

[Afsil80]

Hrm, that's not encouraging to see.

We just had to do a free replacement on a rear set of BFGoodrich LT265/80/16's on this lady's truck b/c they were out of round and causing her back end to hop.

Sent out an email with pictures to a guy in warranty for discount tire. Cross your fingers.

[Rexwagon]

Got an email today from discount tire and they say that this was not from a defect so there is nothing they can do.

[KA-T_240]

Email falken.
