One of my rear Michelin tires crapped out

I wonder what happened to it (how it got such a damage). It lost air pretty quickly and it was no longer drivable.

The kicker was Porsche Roadside Assistance, they said the tow service will be there in 90 mins (this was after 1am) and it'll tow the car to the closest dealership and lock it. Even though all I needed was to put the spare on and get home.

They said due to reliablity issues (putting the tire on the seat) they have to do that and have me stranded and find my way home (talk about convenience).

Fortunately, the tow truck guy was logical and agreed to my request and I got home with my own car!

I was able to fit that 285mm wide tire in the front and slowly close the lid.

Now time to use my roadside hazard coverage but get 2 new rears, since these have 9-10k miles on them...

That is an interesting hole. If you where in Miami, would be a logical round ricochet from a drive-by.
