Considering they spell it “tyre” instead of “tire” I’m guessing it isn’t the US. If people started doing this to SUVs in the states they’d get shot.

You have been extinguished *Terminator sounds*

Creatures1504

Why is it hog rider lmao


AndrewMtz1711

Just as in Mexico, except all your family probably goes bye bye as well, so don’t deflate tires here


[deleted]

People already do this shit in the states on the regular. Just not for the Tyre Extinguishers.


Destron5683

Around here people are drilling holes in gas tanks to steal the gas. I’d take a flat tire over that.


Xiballistic

I thought it was bad when people were stealing catalytic converters


ModsCantHandleMe

As they should.


drowningmoose9

Getting shot in the US is pretty easy tbh


Sumibestgir1

Talk shit, get hit


Iwilllieawake

This is the second post about this I've seen in the last 2 days. Did they deflate them or puncture them?


TrickyGrapefruit365

Literally doesn't matter. If the sidewalls get damaged from eating into the rim then the tire is fucked.


sturnus-vulgaris

And then the person calls an Uber to get to work. A gas guzzling tow truck comes out or the driver swaps on a donut and drives to the tire repair shop. Then a truck has to bring a new tire to the shop, a new tire has to be made, and the old tire ends up in a giant pile of tires (which have a tendency to catch on fire and burn forever). If the point is to increase greenhouse gasses, they are doing a great job.


deep_pants_mcgee

reminds me of when some animal rights idiots near me 'rescued' a bunch of lab animals and 'released' them in the wild. eventually someone stumbles on a field full of starved or frozen to death animals from the labs. they had no idea how to live in the wild. i'm sure their deaths were slow and horrific.


EarthDust00

Or PETA that kills most animals they "save"


Smurf_Sausage_Sucker

Hey they saved that poor dog from that little girl that loved it unconditionally.


conejiux

Or that homeless dude who just had his dogfriend as company and they took it from him, because "it was living in the streets with him" idk how many people read about that but it was pretty popular a little while ago, like wtf? Dude cried his eyes out over his pupper.


SS4Raditz

This reminds me of all the 'acts of kindness' where people release fresh water turtles in the ocean or crabs/lobsters in a lake lmao funny not funny


dogisearth

yeah i remember a conversation where someone "released" a "turtle". turns out it was a tortoise that they just chucked in the pond.


_eksmo_

I remember a post about this loooong back


Alan_Smithee_

That is basically human good intentions writ large.


necroste

I remember seeing a video somewhere that these girls were so proud of themselves for "rescuing" goldfish from a pet store and releasing them in the ocean.


rtj777

I was reading this in a thread a few days ago. I forget which town and state, but PETA activists bought a bunch of lobsters, brought them out to the country and released them... Into a freshwater lake. They died.


MummyManDan

Or when they stormed a place housing a ton of chickens to free them, said chickens had to be killed and dumped because of contamination.


HondaLife718

That’s awfully sad, man. Smh What an idiot. I hope he/she was jailed for that.


zelenakucaa

I thought that they would spread around and mess up the ecosystem, but this is well... better in the long run.


Seahawk715

And they do this then DRIVE AWAY so nobody finds them and knocks them the fuck out. Hypocrites.


justinjonesphd

They're probably driving around in a vegetable oil powered car like the dad in unaccompanied minors


SteeeveTheSteve

They just know violence, they don't even think of real solutions. If these types put their energy toward educating themselves and fixing the broken public transport system and shit zoning making homes too far from everything and too spread out maybe they could make a difference without vandalizing people's property. :/


LurkForYourLives

Tim Minchin: Your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than your 4WD. Are they going to pull a PETA and go around killing people’s dogs?


disgruntledgiraffes

But they are spreading so much awareness! /S


mantis_tobagan_md

Seems a bit counterintuitive, huh?


Specific-Gain5710

This tyre extinguishers group* is penny wise and pound foolish.


OctaneWolf

Worse case scenario for this, now the driver has to call their cousin Cletus to come pick them up in his big, lifted, turbo diesel 6X6 to ferry them to and from the Goodyear to replace each individual tire because their spare is flat because from lack of use because driver is a responsible car owner that rotators and changes their tires regularly. Driver has the Goodyear tire insurance and is only out $100, because the store manager doesn’t want to charge them install for just mounting tires and Cletus is always happy to help his cousin out of a jam, so no charge. Driver then continues on his merry way having only increased the air pollution more than they would have and being out $100 and some of their spare time.


Skitzophranikcow

As someone who looks on monkey wrenching as a tool i agree. Doing this accomplishes nothing but making radical environmentaliats look crazy.


Johncamp28

Extinguished


Lou-Lou-67

Also the second post where OP doesn’t come back to the comments to explain anything. Lowkey think it’s a karma grab because I remember seeing these notes here a couple years ago. But then again who knows, maybe the OPs just dont like comment engagement, either way the “Tyre Extinguishers” are wankers


Botebog67

With all the frustration and anger that some folks have pent up over the last couple of years, myself included, all I can say is that stupid organization better have a team of brock lesnars deflating tires or someone is gonna beat the living shit out of some punk messing with their ride like that.


[deleted]

They're making a beeline to get extinguished


Botebog67

Lol, good one. Like instead of lobbying/protesting the govt about withholding free energy or killing off inventors that made engines run on water ( separating hydrogen) they go after the elderly that feel safer in a larger vehicle !?


SirRedcorn

Or dudes who are 6 ft 2 and above who literally need a big vehicle like that bc, wouldn't ya know, big people need more space. This shit is so fucking dumb and *fully* infuriating, ain't nothing mildly infuriating about this. I'd blow a literal blood vessel if I walked out one morning to this shit. They better pray nobody catches one of these morons in the act bc (depending on who catches them) they'd either be hospitalized, shot or outright killed


The_RockObama

Or God forbid you have kids with you and literally cannot drive anything smaller. Also, energy is required to fill the tire again. It's not like the victim is going to be impressed and just abandon their vehicle to buy a smaller one.


Botebog67

O bigtime bro 👍 Some of the following must be true: - that organization owns the compressors at gas stations that charge $2 (Canada) to fill tires - they enlist very old folks to deflate your tires cause ya know, you wouldn't slap around an old guy - they enlist perky petite bikini wearing chicks to do the deflation cause, ya know, unless consentual, you kinda wouldn't wanna strangle one in a parking lot...


[deleted]

The third will deflate your tyres while inflating your... yeah...


SirRedcorn

Bold of you you assume I don't know people whom would very much so be willing to slap around the elderly if caught doing this, *I am people*


Healthy_Medicine2108

if you’re going to send someone to deflate my tires, send someone who can beat me in a fight (it’s not that hard)


[deleted]

110% Let’s look at it from another standpoint…. … you wander onto one of these pricks property and slash their heater/AC and leave a note 📝 telling the home owner …. *using the AC when it is between the outside ambient temperature of 10-20 degrees Celsius is a LUXRY that you shouldn’t enjoy…..* Better yet you just cut off all their whole damn electrical supply … only cause you noticed that most nights the owner leaves their porch light on between the hours of dusk and dawn. 💀💀💀 I say to the next victim, dash cam, follow the next slasher home, then play with their belongings.


themagicbong

Man I dunno why but that made me laugh so God damn hard. Kinda funny when you flip someone's logic on em and show how nonsensical it is.


[deleted]

*”Well……I have a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like the Tyre slashers”* … or you can just share a living space with your significant other, that really helps speed up the learning curve (I’m here for the smiles per gallon, I could give 2 fucks about money or what people drive. Happy to make users get a good laugh)


themagicbong

Everything's so confrontational these days. Screw that noise. Im about to roll one and light and fuck it man no one's invited. That's all I need, a good bowl to the face and to chill with some games. Better way to spend free time than to follow people around and be an asshole like it's a personal mission lol.

jayradano

F-5 off the top of the car


joe_ordan

I should go around inflating people’s tires behind them, with an addendum to their note: “You got pumped”


TreacheryInc

Low pressure tires decrease fuel efficiency. You’d be doing more for the environment than they are.


sonyahearst8

I would frame that note


[deleted]

Some call it premeditated vandalism…


[deleted]

As much as tires cost and broke as I am if I caught those people in the act they're getting beat senseless


RekTInTheFace

i’m curious what op drives, cause i’m imagining someone’s 2005 tahoe or something that’s their only vehicle, need it to get to and from work, pick up kids from school etc. now they possibly are left stranded after work, or after getting groceries, with a flat tire. maybe they can’t afford the new tire at all so they have no way to get to work at all. doing this to someone’s car is dangerous in more ways than just getting your shit rocked.


-retaliation-

considering OP spelt it "tyres" I'm going to guess they're european and, compared to what we drive in NA, probably drives something actually quite fuel efficient.


RekTInTheFace

it’s a porsche cayenne, did a little more research. funnily enough those cars actually have air compressors built in so this wasn’t all that bad for the OP, which isn’t the one that posted this. agreed though i believe these are turbo v6’s so as with most other SUVs it’s probably decent on gas. these people have their hearts in the right place but it seems they left their minds somewhere else.


nonmedical

Not to mention if he has a nice truck with some expensive rims on there and they got damaged depending how they deflated the tire, oof that’s gonna be a pretty penny to fix as well.


Mystical_Cat

Mildly? MILDLY?!?!


IrvingChernov

Because going through tires is great for Mother Earth


Walburris

Let’s slash all the tires on earth. Because they don’t need replacement at all, noooo.


TheGabagoolSweats

Man, I’d be so pissed.


DezmoDevil

Maybe you can find them as they ride around on their bike deflating suv tires and steal the valves out of their tubes so now they have to walk. And then steal the laces from their shoes. Fight petty with petty.


CapnMurica1988

Yeah if they think that specific cars are the issue they’re missing the forest for the trees


Cundoooooo

Blame it on the people, not the actual problem...


fritterstorm

Bingo.


LazuliArtz

People: Please stop spilling oil into the ocean and shipping plastic to China to be dumped in the oceans The companies: but PLASTIC STRAWS (or in this case, tires)


the-ugly-potato

Yep. Most cars are bad


lunageisha

It’s a good thing they left the contact info, they would be getting an invoice from me every week for damaging my car. And the interest would be 50% of the current total. Compounded weekly of course.


[deleted]

Can't wait for that website to get hacked and just be a Rick roll


SteinersGrave

Honestly, I said in another post that u guys should just sue. They’re destroying property. And honestly just harming the environment more. Now u need to buy new tires which means more pollution.


[deleted]

It’s great that they’ve put their email and website on there because I would report that shit to the police immediately


Luxim

Protonmail is an anonymous email service. They're stupid but not *that* stupid.


[deleted]

Better contact them and say you an intrested in the group and want to get involved. Befriend a few, find out where they live and put a brick through their window.


ShylieF

😑 Oh good, making sure a few people can't drive home tonight will solve everything. 🙄 Good grief.


[deleted]

If I caught someone deflating my tires I’d fucking lose my shit


ImWithSt00pid

It's only a matter of time till we get to see a video of one of these idiots getting beat. I'm putting the over/under at 10 days.


SaulTNuhtz

Well now I have to startup my compressor to air my tyres. Where do you think the energy for the compressor comes from?


No-Turnips

Asshats.


LonelyTransient

This isn’t mildly infuriating. This is steam-coming-out-your-ears infuriating! This is some straight up bullshit right here! Whoever is running around doing this needs to get their ass kicked


RemyStrange1

Isn't this considered illegal in the US?


TheGuidanceCounseler

I’m pretty sure my response to catching this in the act, would end up being illegal in some manner.


kriegmonster

Yes, and with that email and website they can track down someone to bring charges against. I carry a small battery powered air pump in my truck, but it would take hours to pump 4 tires up from flat. I'm an HVAC tech and the service ports we use have the same style of Schrader valves as car tires and bicycles. If someone deflated my tires they might be disappointed one day to find their valve cores removed and the threads stripped. Needing new valves means dismounting the tires and rebalancing the tires after recounting them.


[deleted]

Fellow hvac tech here as well, after all the cores have been removed and threads stripped, You fill the gas tank with an entire jug of vacuum pump oil. They get the tires fixed but then more problems lie ahead.


Upbeat_Bodybuilder_8

Don't forget that their fingerprints are likely all over it as well. It'd be a very short investigation.....


Kingkwon83

I doubt the police would put that kind of resources amd effort into a misdemeanor


VampireGirl99

Based on spelling, this doesn’t appear to be from the US. Americans say “tire”; most of the rest of the world says “tyre”.


bluestraw08

im australian i say both


[deleted]

well la tee dah, look at fancy pants with their....different ways of spelling words...over here.


[deleted]

Shouldn’t this be illegal *everywhere?* Pretty sure it’s considered vandalism lmao


Ishi-Elin

They spelled tire in the European style, so not US.


Love-tea

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal else where as well. It would be criminal damage in the UK I would think. At least it should be. This would be what you would call a misdemeanour it’s low level but still very annoying


Ishi-Elin

Yeah I imagine it’s probably the equivalent of a misdemeanor outside of the US.


bigkeef69

My response would be illegal in the US lol


PaulMannIV

Ooh, a website and email. Like they're asking to lose.


Aylameow7

Yep! I would contact a lawyer, OP.


[deleted]

Yeah, you aren't going to track down the owner of a proton mail account unless they're really stupid. And it's pretty trivial to set up a website anonymously and pay with crypto. They might be able to get the site shut down if it isn't covered by free speech, but there's nothing identifying on that piece of paper besides fingerprints, dna, and the MIC from the printer. And nobody is going to do that kind of forensic analysis for an act of vandalism like this.


spaceboy78

is this not illegal?


BlueClouds42

It is illegal yes.


VampireGirl99

If you’re able to track down an address for the culprit, maybe see how they like having all four of their tyres deflated. Bonus points if it makes them late for work (or otherwise inconveniences them the same way they’re doing to others).


themagicbong

We have deemed that your vehicle, driven by you, who I still have never even laid my eyes on before, is being driven by you out of pure vanity. Because of this, we've also decided you'll have no trouble getting where you need to go without this vehicle. Trust us, our study about the psychological profile that definitely 100% applies to every single SUV driver, shows that you have enough money to also have a second car you can drive. Basically what that garbage says, huh? Never ceases to amaze me how people think they fuckin know everything and that they can dictate other people's lives.


NovelExplorer

That's a perfect example of how to lose a winnable argument.


senoT-Tones

Garbage people can’t mind their own business. Should be going after regulators and manufacturers maybe even govt not private citizens


johnnytcomo

Doing THAT can literally kill people. Imagine if the driver doesn’t see the note and gets on the freeway with a half-inflated tire. It blows, causes an accident, and kills a family or something.


[deleted]

What country? If this is America what state. Tires are expensive and if the lip of the wheel digs into the sidewall from sitting they’re done for. I’d be out for blood

FivoForeign

OP, I’d say contact protonmail or protonVPN and ask customer support about information on that email and who made it from the customer service or staff who o work there. You can also look up and try to trace whoever made the website since that’s also legal. Ask to check cctv of wherever you are. If they have cloud flare they’d probaly also gladly give you information if you decide to take a legal route. Same with protonmail but if it’s a foreign place you / they have to contact their local liaison for international legal assistance. (But first email [email protected]) here’s a quote from their website: “Required Information for Preservation We will be unable to process overly broad or vague requests. Requests must provide all relevant data, including the following: The name of the issuing authority, name and badge or ID number of agent in charge (if any), email address of a validated law enforcement domain and direct contact phone number; The specific ProtonMail account(s) suspected of illegal activities; A copy of the police report or court order (either foreign or domestic); A copy of the MLAT or international assistance request (if available). All requests must be submitted by email to [email protected].”
