Blown tire: how far do you think I can drive?

Just once I'd like a flat on a lift axle . Lift and go but that would be illegal , so I would call a service truck. Ya right!

 

You mean it didn't turn into a big deal. Glad you made it safely.

 

gee it was only fuel a few hours late BFD wasnt temp controlled or anything
it is called a breakdown for a reason

 

Some reason, I doubt it.

But, it is your story, tell it anyway you want.

 

Not a big deal. Not even a small deal really Then why even bother starting this thread ?

 

I can't figure out these idiots that just pull off on the side of the big highway and make a tire guy come to them and risk their life changing it in heavy traffic. keep going and get off the big road!

I have ran on flats many times when empty, but would not go too far when loaded.

 

Ever thought about the possibility of the DOT pulling behind them and then putting them out of service for it and the inspection they did?

Ever thought that maybe company policy dictates it?

Ever thought about the safety of others?

There are many reasons.

 

You can blow a recap with good tire tread and adequate pressure. It happened to me on more than one occasion. I actually blew a recap next to a trooper once and some of the debris hit his patrol car.
