Fear of steer tire blowout ! Anyone have it?

blew one going 75mph with a tanker full of gas in a 96000k lb truck........

tag axle down too, which i hear makes a million times harder to control.

there was no controlling mine. had a line running down the road half inch deep on the interstate where the rim was digging in. went into the ditch. but im lucky. it stayed upright, didnt blow up and im still alive

 

Foot on the hammer to counter act side force, counter steer and gain control. Ease off throttle and coast. Never hit brake, never ride the governor.

 

You're late, son. Jump in that truck and try to get there before they close!

 

Safety bump*

 

Helped me not die when my steer blew out

 

I've never blown a steer tire in over 5 million miles of driving. In fact I think I've probably had less than 1 flat a year

 

Guess we're all not that lucky
