I lost a wheel comming back from Anna and of course I had no spare. But I did remeber something Tim said to me if this happens.............."just strap it up"..........it got me home safe.

I was rolling up 95, middle lane, 75mph, bumber to bumber traffic and looked back at sparks just flying off the u-bolts..........nobody blew there horn or anything to indicate something happen. We got stopped and a trooper comes rolling up, thought for sure I was in a world of $hit...........something like a 10 car pile up cause my wheel jammed somebody up to miss it..........but all he said is everything OK. Good thing I had that strap.

I was rolling up 95, middle lane, 75mph. And a trooper comes rolling up,
#1) :idea: so that Ice Cream van of yours goes 75 mph...eh
#2) :idea: the trooper probably wanted to know what kind of wax was on your boat.
:rollside:
Seriously though, it could have got real ugly...glad it didn't
And ya know, when I seen those gay ass wheel covers (screwed) on the wheels I said to myself...that kind of *hinders* the ability to check the wheel lugs.
Nothing but love brother...

Seems like I have read several threads on here about losing trailer tires. What causes this? I have never had one even loosen up. Did it just not get tightened to start with? Just curious since never had a problem like that.
