    The most important thing is to recognize the problem. I never seen one come off the rim until 2010. Then I seen 3 of them.
    The last one a guy come rolling in the fuel island on a steer flat. He got about 30 ft from the pumps when the tire just rolled off the rim and plop right in front of me! I couldn't help but laugh.
    If one can help it, I wouldn't move an inch if possible. Them rims cost alot.

    Cool, didnt like the label of "telling a tall tale". Most dont everyday but I see more doing it lately as I know the DOT is pushing hard for their lottery money. BTW this past Saturday I witnessed a Texas DOT officer kicking a tire while a truck was on the scale (it looked good from where I was sitting right behind that truck) and he then pulled the truck over for an inspection and was talking to the driver about that tire. Not once was an air gauge pulled out while I was there, I wasnt impressed:biggrin_25512:

    No damage to any part of the truck other than the tire.

    To avoid the big xxxx I,m going to say its
    Rolling in the snow laughing my axx off, if youre into the nasty thing change snow to shet. Thats pretty much my thoughts about certain things, I,ve been rollin around the wood pile along time, shet don,t get past my nose vary easy. No should try to ger approvel for stupid while trying to cover things up.


    Just my humble opinion of course.
