Woman Posts Pics Of Her ‘Slashed Tire’ On Twitter, But Someone Quickly Proves She’s Lying And It’s Hilarious

ADVERTISEMENT

Nothing ruins your day like finding slashed tires on your vehicle. And then finding out that it wasn’t actually slashed, it just gave up on life because you refused to change it. And then continuing to say it was cut anyway.

Conservative activist and chronic attention seeker Laura Loomer recently took to Twitter to inform the world that a dry, rotting car tire on her jeep had been savagely brutalized. That’s right. Someone was mad enough at her to leave a slashed tire, but not all of them – just one, multiple times. It’s a harrowing story, except for the fact that Laura’s bluff was humiliatingly busted by one car-savvy commentator, which unleashed a relentless stream of car memes, spin-off Twitter accounts for the fallen tire, and even a fake GoFundMe page that showed Laura supposedly raising cash for a new tire AND car (which, sadly, has now been taken down).

Poor Laura tried to recover her pride, but alas, she only fueled the fire. She may have failed at creating a publicity stunt this time, but at least the rest of us learned an important lesson from it all – don’t drive on tires from 2006. Just don’t do it. Find out what went down below, and tell us what you think about #tiregate in the comments!

A conservative political activist named Laura Loomer recently made a shocking discovery

One Twitter user, however, decided to look a little closer…

Michelin even stepped in to back it all up

Laura got a little cross that people were being mean to her tire, and decided to bite back

It was too late, though, as the floodgate of memes had already opened wide

ADVERTISEMENT

Someone even created a GoFundMe page in loving memory of the unfortunate tire…

Which Laura was quick to politely refuse

Someone else went drop-dead savage and updated her Wikipedia page – read the last sentence

 

Trying to salvage the last of her pride, Laura posted documents that supposedly confirmed her ordeal…

But even that fell apart, as it appears to be her handwriting on both reports (oops!)

Probably a combination of things. Having been a James O'Keefe disciple, she is used to confrontations. But mostly she is like the overwhelming majority of women, and the majority of males: they have little, or no, mechanical aptitude at all. Anybody unable to see what caused the wear and tear on a tire like that, is also blind to curbs too. :D

She's not too bright (to put it up mildly) and she clearly doesn't have any sense of humor. But more people like her should exist nowadays in order to entertain all the bored pandas there. Because people who are not amusing or stupid-looking on purpose are the funniest of all! ;)

Some people just WANT to be a victim, they think it validates their ideas if other people are attacking them. In her mind she thinks that if the liberals are attacking her that just proves that she is right and they can't argue with her so they resort to violence.

It just goes to show that people on both sides of the aisle attempt these shenanigans. As someone who works in the auto business, if I appraised that car those tires would be marked as "need to be replaced." They sure wouldn't pass a state inspection. Second, while it may not have been a blowout from hitting a curb, she sure looks like she's hit a lot of curbs, to the point that the metal in the tires is showing. They look like they have dry rot.

I don't know who she is, I live in Sydney. I DO work in a tyre shop, and see this damage every day of my life. For what ever reason, the tyre has been driven on whilst flat, the most telling photo would be from when it was dismounted from the wheel- would have been full of "rubber gravel" from the tyre deteriorating.

If a liar and manipulator wants to believe something they will go to the far corners of the earth to convince themselves (and others) that it's true. Even when it's an obvious blatant lie. Even when they KNOW it's a lie. They will continue to lie and justify until they are satisfied that they've fooled not only other people, but also themselves. It's not a political thing either. I don't think it really has much to do with their beliefs on politics or government. It's more of a personality and mental defect.

Tire was too old; it has dry rot. Also, it's been abused: it's been curbed and rode on with low tire pressure. The other tires are probably in the same shape. Time for a new set of tires.

It is by obvious that the tire had dry rot by the condition of the sidewall and a slashed tire would have a clean cut and not chunks of rubber missing. Good pickup folks! Then she tried a gofundme page and accused everyone of lying about it and fake news, sounds familiar - totally discussing!

It’s to bad that Laura just can’t handle the truth about her tire. I’ved race stick for a number of years and that tire sure looks to me that it should’ve been replace about 30,000 ago. That’s what happens when you run your car with a flat tire, sorry Laura but that tire was never slashed. Can’t handle the truth just blame it on someone else.

Not only was the tire-slasher a vandal, he or she was also a magician who was somehow able to know exactly which direction the cords were aligned inside the sidewall (inside the rubber and invisible to the eye), and perfectly cut the tire without cutting ANY of those cord threads. Amazing! Note: Those cords are aligned in plys on tires, and they provide the strength and overall shape of a tire. The rubber compound protects those cords as well as providing adhesion with the driving surface. Once the rubber compound "rots" with age and abuse, it becomes brittle and less pliant, eventually leaving the cords/plys unprotected. The cords will then separate, as shown in the photos, and will no longer hold air. As soon as one set of cords splits, others will quickly split, too. If Loomer had been stopped by a cop with a functioning brain, she would have gotten a ticket at the very least, or been ordered to park the car until the tires were replaced.

Actually the green valve probably has nothing to do with where the tires were bought. Many tire dealers use the green caps when they have inflated the tires with nitrogen rather than air.

Laura's handwriting is slanted to the right, and spaced very close together. The other handwriting is slanted to the left, and more space between the letters and words themselves. The numbers in the dates are really different. For example: One 8 is a continuous loop, while the other, has two small loops stacked on top of one another. One 3 has a sharp top with a curvy bottom and the other 3 has two curves of the same size. The 7's are the most obvious. One 7 has a sweeping motion for a continuous line. The other has three distinctive sharp movements. And lastly the slants to separate the dates. One has slants that are almost vertical, and the other clearly leaning to the right.

What do her political views have to do with this? Seriously, Panda, can you be any more petty? You bring her political viewpoint into the post in just the second paragraph in an insultingly not-so-subtle attempt to insinuate that her ignorance in the field of vehicle maintenance somehow relates to her political views? Do you not realize that the overwhelming majority of your readers are only here because of the cute and funny images? That doesn't equate to a platform for political commentary. Wisdom also says that you should be careful on how you judge others, their intellect included. If this woman is to be judged by you for her deficiency in understanding vehicle maintenance, then shouldn't you be judged for your stereotyping of women and automobiles? Either this post exists to insinuate that conservatives are attention seekers and ignorant, or that women are not capable of understanding vehicle maintenance. The critical nature of this post is quite disgusting, honestly.

This was a run-low tire. if this had a sensor the light in the dash would have been on. The many separations of the plies in the side wall only happen with great temperature buildup, temp buildup caused by tire flexing repeatedly, flexing caused by run low.

I have a car and the tyres on it were actually older than hers but...well maintained, kept at the right pressure and low mileage. I replaced them anyway due to the rubber sidewalls starting to crack. Never by cheap tyres from a supermarket, if you want cheap tyres by them from a tyre dealer, and not second hand ones.

she should have given the tow truck driver the stupid $5 extra to write what she wanted, but no she was too cheap, also the dryrot all over the tire I am amazed that it even held up that long.

Having a car with a tire in that condition before the alleged “slashing” (rubbish) could have caused a serious accident. Being stopped by the police in UK with one in that condition would have resulted in a fine and points on her driving licence. Car would have been impounded if she did also not have a serviceable spare. Better check other tires in case the Phantom slasher comes back….

OK a couple minor errors if his posts but this is awesome... Green cap means filled with nitrogen, nothing about Costco. And the wear marks on the rim (and sidewall) look more like parking against a curb... Maybe how she hit the one that cut her ancient wore out tire?

I'm shocked at the people on this site. She got doxxed. The whole purpose of doxxing someone is to invite others to commit crimes against them. So she mistook a ruptured tire for a slashed one when she was rightfully concerned someone would do something to her. Big deal. Oh, and just so everyone who attacked her knows what complete idiots they are: the service station fills out your name often. Compare her writing on the BOTTOM with the rest of the form; it's VERY different.

Second, while it may not have been a blowout from hitting a curb, she sure looks like she's hit a lot of curbs, to the point that the metal in the tires is showing. They look like they have dry rot.

If a liar and manipulator wants to believe something they will go to the far corners of the earth to convince themselves (and others) that it's true. Even when it's an obvious blatant lie. Even when they KNOW it's a lie. They will continue to lie and justify until they are satisfied that they've fooled not only other people, but also themselves. It's not a political thing either. I don't think it really has much to do with their beliefs on politics or government. It's more of a personality and mental defect.

It is by obvious that the tire had dry rot by the condition of the sidewall and a slashed tire would have a clean cut and not chunks of rubber missing. Good pickup folks! Then she tried a gofundme page and accused everyone of lying about it and fake news, sounds familiar - totally discussing!

It’s to bad that Laura just can’t handle the truth about her tire. I’ved race stick for a number of years and that tire sure looks to me that it should’ve been replace about 30,000 ago. That’s what happens when you run your car with a flat tire, sorry Laura but that tire was never slashed. Can’t handle the truth just blame it on someone else.

Dry rot, sitting in the sun for years, scraping against the curb, they weren’t cuts they were cracks, the tire shop just didn’t want to humiliate a potential customer.😂

Not only was the tire-slasher a vandal, he or she was also a magician who was somehow able to know exactly which direction the cords were aligned inside the sidewall (inside the rubber and invisible to the eye), and perfectly cut the tire without cutting ANY of those cord threads. Amazing! Note: Those cords are aligned in plys on tires, and they provide the strength and overall shape of a tire. The rubber compound protects those cords as well as providing adhesion with the driving surface. Once the rubber compound "rots" with age and abuse, it becomes brittle and less pliant, eventually leaving the cords/plys unprotected. The cords will then separate, as shown in the photos, and will no longer hold air. As soon as one set of cords splits, others will quickly split, too. If Loomer had been stopped by a cop with a functioning brain, she would have gotten a ticket at the very least, or been ordered to park the car until the tires were replaced.

Actually the green valve probably has nothing to do with where the tires were bought. Many tire dealers use the green caps when they have inflated the tires with nitrogen rather than air.

It's entirely possible the tire was slashed ;), and if it was they did her a favor. That tire was so dry rotted it should have been replaced long ago. She's lucky it didn't blow out at highway speed.

Laura's handwriting is slanted to the right, and spaced very close together. The other handwriting is slanted to the left, and more space between the letters and words themselves. The numbers in the dates are really different. For example: One 8 is a continuous loop, while the other, has two small loops stacked on top of one another. One 3 has a sharp top with a curvy bottom and the other 3 has two curves of the same size. The 7's are the most obvious. One 7 has a sweeping motion for a continuous line. The other has three distinctive sharp movements. And lastly the slants to separate the dates. One has slants that are almost vertical, and the other clearly leaning to the right.

Very interesting. The investigatory interest by the initial answerer is worthy of the Marissa Tomei character in My Cousin Vinny: expertise and totally convincing. This happened to us the same way in a pothole. Ultimately it is a comforting analysis - not targeted, perhaps clumsy and inattentive.

What do her political views have to do with this? Seriously, Panda, can you be any more petty? You bring her political viewpoint into the post in just the second paragraph in an insultingly not-so-subtle attempt to insinuate that her ignorance in the field of vehicle maintenance somehow relates to her political views? Do you not realize that the overwhelming majority of your readers are only here because of the cute and funny images? That doesn't equate to a platform for political commentary. Wisdom also says that you should be careful on how you judge others, their intellect included. If this woman is to be judged by you for her deficiency in understanding vehicle maintenance, then shouldn't you be judged for your stereotyping of women and automobiles? Either this post exists to insinuate that conservatives are attention seekers and ignorant, or that women are not capable of understanding vehicle maintenance. The critical nature of this post is quite disgusting, honestly.

This was a run-low tire. if this had a sensor the light in the dash would have been on. The many separations of the plies in the side wall only happen with great temperature buildup, temp buildup caused by tire flexing repeatedly, flexing caused by run low.

I have a car and the tyres on it were actually older than hers but...well maintained, kept at the right pressure and low mileage. I replaced them anyway due to the rubber sidewalls starting to crack. Never by cheap tyres from a supermarket, if you want cheap tyres by them from a tyre dealer, and not second hand ones.

Having a car with a tire in that condition before the alleged “slashing” (rubbish) could have caused a serious accident. Being stopped by the police in UK with one in that condition would have resulted in a fine and points on her driving licence. Car would have been impounded if she did also not have a serviceable spare. Better check other tires in case the Phantom slasher comes back….

Lots of places use green valve caps. The place where I take my care for service uses green caps if you pay for Nitrogen for the life of the tire instead of regular air. Also, like Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin, she may not be lying, just stupid--or a combination of both.

So she mistook a ruptured tire for a slashed one when she was rightfully concerned someone would do something to her. Big deal. Oh, and just so everyone who attacked her knows what complete idiots they are: the service station fills out your name often. Compare her writing on the BOTTOM with the rest of the form; it's VERY different.
