Another tire failure, Westlake
On the NJ turnpike, 65 mph and BAM! Might have hit something? Who knows? Pressure was checked before we departed.
Luckily on the curb side but still nerve racking with the trucks speeding by us. Prepared, impact gun with socket attached and 2x12' blocks to assist in raising the tires off the ground. Wife lowered the spare just as I removed the blown tire...should have timed it! Stopped at next rest area checked the torque. On the road again, with a mangled side skirt. Ordered H rated tires and new rims....not going anywhere until I install them!Eric & Monique Cope...never left at home, our dog, Olive. Machipongo VA.
