I hope you're okay! That must have been a very bad surprise when it occured.

So...did the 4 wheeler get gator in the grill?

Can I semi still limp on into the next truck stop when you loose a tire like that?

If the driver is me; probably. (note: with an OUTSIDE tire it's never a good idea... dot cops just looove that). However, that one screwed up his tail lights, took out a mudflap (which must be present at the rear of the vehicle) and those funky tube things inside the rim are auto-inflate/deflators... which often get stuck open in a blowout.... sucking away all your prescious air to air a tire that isn't there anymore.

Another note; is that tankers run in-freaking-sanely heavy... and that might make me a smidge nervous. I would have seven good ones; and I've been known to run on as few as four (one on each hub) o.o;; but that was when the trailer was light!

woah... that bastard really f'd up your trailer good...
