Default donuts in snow

We recently had a big snow storm 2 weeks ago and with 4 inches on the ground, I pulled into an empty parking lot and preceded to do donuts in the snow. boy was that a thrill. Did that for about a couple of minutes slipping and sliding in both directions. Then with snow on the road while driving slowly I jerked the wheel intentionally to see how slippery it was and lost control and ran into a snow pile that stopped me in front of the curb, didn't hit very hard though (front bumper). A couple of days ago I think someone slashed my tire because while driving to work my rear driver side tire went out on me. the treads were fine, no nails only the sidewalls gave way. the very next day my front driver side tire didn't pop but loss almost all air and took it to sears auto. they checked it out and found a small hole on the sidewall. both tires were less than 1 year old and cost me $200 to replace. before both driver side tires blew out my car pulled to the left a little and now after replacing driver side front and rear it pulls to the right while driving. I checked air pressure and made sure 32psi were in both fronts and 29psi on rears per manual direction. i am still experiencing this pull to the right while driving slowly and accelerating. I will get a wheel alignment soon. What do u think caused this from the events above? Was it me jerking too hard while doing donuts in snow? hitting pile of snow and landing in front of curb? or tire issues? thanx

someone's messing with your car for sure. They wanted you to have a flat on the go to make you stranded. Find out who they are and hit them so they dont even know its coming. GL

i don't know who did it. I left one thing off of the original post, my roomate had both of his tires flattened also. Philadelphia is not the nicest place to live outside of center city and northeast area. there is a h.s nearby and don't even bother wondering a few blocks north from my apartment, u might get jacked up. I think it's either local teenagers or them damn mexicans

You third-grade reading level people need to go back to school. That is punctuated and phrased pretty well by H-T standards. Y'all are pathetic

I have snow for 6 months out of the year and beleive me its not your tires
i dont care if you have low profile or no tread snow and ice isnt going to do anything to your tires, donuts may hurt your handbrake a bit, thats it though
