farmer52 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 How old was the tire? Did you run over something? Did you have to change your shorts too? Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 How old was the tire? Did you run over something? Did you have to change your shorts too?That tire had 30,000 miles on it, B.F. Goodrich. I did not see or feel anything that I might have run over, it didn't have any noticable pull to the right or anything before it blew, like it was leaking down slow. I told Jeff I could have run over something and didn't feel it, the wind was blowing so hard I was all over the place anyway.It wasn't too bad, I knew right away what it was- it sounded like it was gonna beat the fender off before I got stopped, but it didn't hurt anything. But, like I said, if i'd had a load of that treated lumber on it might have been a different story. All I had was 4 wooden crates and 2 pallets, 6200 lbs.

mike69mackman Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Glad you and the truck are ok Tom. That's a scary deal when you blow a steer tire. I blew one with a dm model dump with about 42000 in the box once. I would've shit myself but the pucker factor was too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Glad you had it under control and not end up across the median or over the bridge. Seen a guy when i headed over to Walcott to get the truck greased lost the whole left wheel assembly. He got off the road upright but I bet it was 1 hell of a ride. Wheel was leaning against the cables on the west bound side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
