Default Rocks inside my tire? WTF?

Okay so the Pulsar was making weird noises and the streering wheel started to shake. So naturally I assume that the wheel bearing was going bad. So when I got home I put the car up, on jack stands, started to turn the wheel and heard what sounds like rocks inside the tire. Wtf? is this possible, im thinking that maybe the tire is deteriorating from the inside? Any one had this happen before

Could be a family of mice living in there. Be careful when you take it off.

this happened to a friend of mine....the tires that he had on his car were cheap...and the rubber acutally broke down from the inside...it forms tiny little balls or rubber... a little bit smaller than bbs

fix a flat is SOOOOO bad for your tires...please dont use it...once you use that crap, your tire wont balance out ever again....(its like trying to balance a tire that has liquid sloshing around in it...it wont balance right)
