Drove the last 20 mins to home very slowly and carefully. This was sketchy as shit and is ABSOLUTELY not safe, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I seriously doubt this would have worked if I had anything other than a 30 series profile. The tire is going to costco for replacement, so it only needed to get me home.
"...sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do." Yup, lol! Hard-core bro! Glad you made it home OK.
