I was with a few friends earlier and I decided that we were going to go do a burnout since it was 1 in the morning and no one would be up by the industrial buildings.
Basically started cranking it up, and just absolutely peeled rubber for at least 50 feet. Anyway, after I finished and was pulling away among clouds of smoke, something started "flapping" under the car, much like you'd hear if you had a flat tire and you were driving on it.
My original thought was that because my tires run on the inner front bumper corner, during the burnout the car had gone sideways to the point that the bumper was rubbing on the tire, and I thought maybe that had punctured it because it's pretty sharp.
I drove it home, listening to the sickening sound the whole way there as I limped it into the garage. I've let it sit for a few hours and none of the tires look like the've lost pressure at all, which makes me think it was suspension-related and not tires?
The only thing I noticed about the tires was that only the back left tire peeled. The right one didn't. So on the backs, the left has rubber mashed into it, and the right one looks fine.
Anyone have any guess as to what may have happened? Think something's rubbing against one of the tires? I had this sickening thought that maybe one of my shocks broke - I hope I'm wrong.
