Anonymous Coward User ID: 77017255 United States 10/16/2020 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Heard a tractor truck tire nuke itself from across the median on the other side of the highway. It scared the shit out of me and the shockwave hit the truck I was driving so hard I felt it in the door and floor pan. Thought something had hit the truck so I pulled over to look. No damage, then I saw all the rubber and the semi across the median making its way to the shoulder. Serious shit. |

Have always wondered about those rubber straps all over the place in the highways. It stunned me how loud it was at the distance I was at. I had to have been at least an 1/8th mile away from it. A more recent danger is the use of Super Singles. They replace the dual tires with one big one and I've seen a few of those tread laying around. They are huge and will mess up a car that hits one in the road. |
