I need help quick. I just found out recently that my front Driver tire has metal wires showing. So I rotated both fronts to the back.
How dangerous is it if one rear tire pops?
If some of you can give me some wheel websites quick, I would appreciate it.

I guess you gotta learn one way or another..

when metal wires come out of a tire they are "corded"..aka DEAD.

if you continue to drive on it, a blowout is very likely, causing you to 3 wheel it into your nearest nonmovable object.

If you're tight on money, run your spare at the least. but it's important for your safety to take that tire off the car.

It' s because I want to get new rims as well when I replace the tires.

I'm a crazy guy! I've driven 100 miles since I last posted here.
I 'm gonna get it monday. What tires have good traction for stock 16s?

How many miles on your tires before metal started to show?!?!

Its amazing really...your tires have been severly worn waaaaaay past what is considered safe long ago if you even have metal showing!

Please take a pic of that before you toss it..if you can!
