Yep, I`m surprised the cheapo tires lasted that long! and that front tire looks low.
The front tire in the pic is carrying double the normal load. I suspect that's why it looks low.
It's always difficult in a blow out to determine exactly what happened. Did the tire pressure drop (nail, bad valve leaked after using the gauge, etc.) and then shred or did it suddenly blow out then shred or did it throw the tread then shred. Just impossible to tell. Also, the remaining tire suffered some severe overloading after the tire shredded. Is it going to go soon?
Actually it has about the same load on it due to the equalizer between the springs. the only way it would be carrying double the load was if the tire was off the ground.
