[QUOTE="8Ball, post: 13276, member: 431"] I've had several trailer tires blow out on me & 1 drive tire on a twin screw tractor. No matter how far away from the cab, I always felt a kick in the ass when they let loose. It's unreal the damage an explosive blow out can cause. Got many stories. The [B]most dangerous [/B]place is alongside the rig. You should be far enuf behind the trailer (2 second rule) to avoid the 'gater' if a retread blows...or the ladder or pallet or whatever the truck just straddled. But there is [B]no[/B] escape if a tire explodes when you are in the lane next to the truck. [/QUOTE]
