JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Well I was gonna buy new tires in a month or 2.. But then I came out to this in the parking lot. Sad day... :( unfortunately the only thing to assume is somebody slashed it.

I wouldnt assume someone slashed it unless you know someone did it. I jumped a curb with my duratrac and the same thing happened. It looked lie one of the nub's grabbed the curb and the pressure just pulled it apart.. Any way still sucks.

Damn..... I would have to agree. What else could it be? Any chance the parking lot has cameras so you could catch the f'er?

Yea. Doesn't really look like a slash. You would think the tire would be flat if someone was going to go out of their way to do that.

That is a real bummer... doesn't look like someone slashed it though to me, look at the rip marks on the edges of the gash, and it's through a side lug.

Ya the only reason I'm assuming is there wasn't any slashes on he tire before and I haven't even offloaded in a month or 2 .. Idk maybe my brother hit a curb and didnt tell me.. Whatever the case it still sucks.

Just throw on your spare and wait until you have the money to get what you want.
I assume you have 5 tires? You might want to think twice before going wheeling without a spare, but most of the time you should be OK on daily driving, unless you are real unlucky.
