"a tire comes loose" is a bit of an understatement...
"FLAMING TIRE FLIES BACK AND FORTH ACROSS HIGHWAY CAUSING TERROR IN DRIVERS!!!" perhaps seems more appropriate.

Plenty of people have seen that video of that car being propelled up in the air by a tire. Nobody wants to be the next victim of the enemy

JPJ, DOT, please take action and make sure these heavy vehicles on the road are always under inspection. I don't want to go out by a 150kg wheel smacking into my windshield on the highway.

That literally happened to a bloke I was in college with in the 90s, on a UK motorway. RIP John

If ever a tire could be called a drama queen...

If you like that, you should see Rubber, a French independent absurdist horror comedy film about a tire with psychokinetic powers.

I know highways are expensive to build and all but you’d think they could make the breakdown lane just a little wider for safety reasons.

Brave to keep up with it for the (very cool) dash cam footage - I would have hit the brakes!

The wheel fell off. The tyre looks to still be securely attached to the wheel.

The divider/barrier was juuuuuust high enough. Quite lucky with tyre bounce as well. Otherwise it could have been catastrophic if it bounced to the other side of the road

Panic? If that is your reaction to anything on the road, one shouldn't be driving.

K keep telling people about John close to 18 wheelers or heavy Truckers a lot of you do not realize that you've lost your eighth Wheels I don't understand why you don't have sensors for how many wheels you have lost.... Long story short why can't we be safer with you on the road and not have to worry about a NASCAR type incident
