I was driving on the beltway in DC one time. I was just behind a semi about 50 feet when one of his tires exploded. Holy!@#$%^&*. Scared the living daylights out of me.

A tanker on highway, to my right, blew a left rear tire as I was passing. Found out part of the tire cracked my FORD grill. Not enough to replace, it is a truck afterall.

Wheel spacers and high offset wheels....hmm, wonder what the failure was ?
One of the reasons I am cautious around heavily modified trucks.

I read that under the video when I saw it on Facebook earlier. They blamed a wheel spacer.
When I was a kid we were driving home for visiting family an a flatbed load of tires started coming off right in front of us. We dodged two an I remember seeing them rolling onto the opposite bound lanes of traffic.

The wheel bearing didn't like those spacers and off set rims. That Kia got launched hard.

Christ.. Did they even survive that? Roof landings are horrific...
Also, another reason wheel spacers are not perfectly safe like these flat billed hat wearing d heads keep claiming. I avoid trucks with wheel spacers for this reason.

I long ago noticed that interstate traffic clumps up unless it is really congested.
I either slow down or speed up to get between the clumps. Speed isn't dangerous. But proximity and speed is deadly. As are high differential speeds.
Recently I have begun traveling at night on I-95 for just this reason. The stress levels are much lower.

And yet many individuals here think wheel spacers are ok.......... This is a great reason as to why they are not
