So, I am at Mazda. I thought I just had a leak in my driver’s side front tire. They drove the car around to the shop and the tech came out within two minutes. The service tech and I followed back into the shop. Well, all I can say about what I saw is that God loves me and did not intend on me meeting my end on the drive from Tampa to Orlando last night. The tread had nearly separated. I do not know how much more time I would have had before the tire disintegrated. It might have happened at interstate velocity. That, I believe, would have been what one would call catastrophic.
Because of the damage on the front tires and the wear on the back, I am now getting four new tires. That is not exactly what I wanted to spend nearly seven hundred dollars on, but I believe I have gotten over forty thousand miles out of those.
