Author Topic: Well I just hit a tire.  (Read 841 times)

So I was driving home with my mom and dad after going shopping and I was driving down the highway. I was getting ready to pull off and I saw a car coming up on the left and just after he passed there was chunks of something black bouncing towards me. I was wondering what it was and my dad says "Hey look out!" and I look up and there the tire. It looked like a giant rock and I swerved a little to the left, but I didn't want to hit anyone passing me (Its busy because people are traveling to go skiing this weekend) and it hit the right bumper of the car. Its a little broken. I wasnt the only one who hit it, there were 6 other people who hit the tire also. And it was a new tire, because the old ones would shred into a ton of pieces when they fell off.

TL;DR

I hit a tire while driving

You're lucky it didn't press charges, jerk!

I thought your tire popped from the title.


So the person's tire just fell off? If so, lol (not to be mean or anything). I suppose you should be glad it wasn't any worse. :/

I read the title quickly. You lucky you dont have more damage on your car.

It was a tractor-trailer. Their tires usually shred off all the time. This guy had some new tires called super-wide tires. It didnt just fall off, it did shred but there was so little left on the rim that the guy said it just fell off.

I moved to the left a little. It was just a little more than a knick

Lol wow, thats something else.
I know this is possible because I've seen a tire roll across a 4 lane highway and seen a car with a missing tire. I was like "wtf"

I think I would have stuff myself.

I don't know. That would be pretty I incredible though

I accidentally read the title as "I was just a tire"
I don't know how, I just did.

You turned left to avoid it, and it hits your left bumper... shouldn't you try turning right instead?  You may avoid the tire entirely.

Thanks for that. It should be right bumper
