On 75/85 going through the middle of Atlanta on Friday and I either hit something or my rear tire just blew. Never saw anything in the road but definitely felt something that seemed like an impact on the rear driver's side tire. Made it another mile moving over before it just came totally unglued.

My TPMS threw an indication that my Front Right tire was at 0psi, but nothing is wrong w/ that one at all. Any ideas what's up w/ that?

Now, the notification just reads Service Tire Pressure System.

I have some new wheels/tires/tpms on the way anyway, so I'll bolt those up and reset and hopefully everything will clear, but I just thought it was weird.

The exploding tire blew a hole in my rear bumper, so I get to hit up the body shops this week for a fix. Good times.

Only bright spot: 20in OEM wheel didn't catch any scuffs or anything. Can still sell them soon.

Any thoughts on the notification though?

Somebody rotated the tires but didn't reset them.

Your best bet is a 2012 escalade bumper. :)

Wow. That completely makes sense. I'm kinda pissed at myself, being a systems guy, that I didn't come up w/ that. Thanks for the info.

I'm not really a big fan of that new Esky setup to be honest.

Funny - when I saw the hole in the bumper I started thinking about custom duals.
