This happened at a VW dealership in Houston. The first minute or so is what to watch.

Dammmnnn! That wheel was moving. As if the speed wasn\'t enough, I think the smoke made it a little scarier.

That is unreal isn\'t it?

that\'d probably be surreal looking at a smoking tired flying towards you from a distance.
I like the "construction worker" reaction of everyone stand around and do nothing though..i\'d do the same thing

It actually bounces off a wall and hops over some cars if you look closely.

You\'re all idiots. It\'s obviously a tire from this vehicle. (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgizmodo.com%2Fassets%2Fresources%2F2007%2F06%2Fbatcycle.jpg&hash=032f2676146a2768526a17a1519bee938f2373fd)

That\'s what it looks like,...i\'ve tried looking deep into the distance of that vid and it looks like the tire just pops out of thin air....and that tire is racist,..out of all the cars in that lot, it picked the black one...:mad:

I wonder how that wheel came off of the tractor trailer. Could you imagine if someone got hit by that?

It\'s kind of weird the way that tire came off tho,...that tire looks like as if it came off of the back of the truck,...that tire looked like it\'s a double axle unit...it kinda hard to explain,..but it looks like that entire unit just slid off of the axle,..because it\'s actually two tires together that are rampaging down the lot, with the rim also involved,...it\'s almost as if the nuts weren\'t screwed on tight enough and the entire rim just catapulted from the truck while it was moving at high speeds....

We had a tractor trailer tire come off fly over the median wall and land on someones car a few years ago here in Austin and killed the lady in rush hour traffic in the morning, so yea it happens.

Post by: Titan on June 25, 2008, 07:38:33 PM
But was it the whole axle?

Well it wasn\'t actually the axle,...just the whole rim and the tire....just think of it this way...just imagine how your car would look if you took off your rim and tire....that is what i believed happened to that truck tires since both tires are still attached to the rim.

Yes they are very crazy, f\'king NAFTA...
I\'ve had one for no apparent reason try to run me off the road at night, slamming on their breaks and driving like a complete idiot.

It just reminded me of that. Nothing more nothing less. Besides even if it did cross my mind, you never know.
