I like how the errant tire caught up and ran into them as a final FU.
Yes what are the odds of taking it from the front and the back lol.
Mario Kart type stuff!
Never seen a rouge tire before. Dodged a couple of rogue tires, though...
Sorry, my inner spelling Nazi escaped for a moment.
Saw this happen a couple of times when I was working at a Toyota service center. I was the Lube Tech team leader. A lot of the young guys see the master techs not using torque wrenches on every vehicle and think they can get away with it too, and the results are predictable.
As I understand it, the torque spec for lug nuts is directly related to the size of the studs. On my Lincoln, the torque spec was 100 ft-lbs, but my F-150’s lugs are supposed to be torqued to 150 ft-lbs.
Either way, there’s no way those lug nuts were tightened at a tire shop. I carry a 24” breaker bar just so I can get those SOBs loose after getting new tires…
I would guess the wheel spacers/offset didn't allow enough threads to be caught by the lugnut. I made that mistake once with new offset rims and tires and had a wheel pop off on the turnpike. Luckily it stayed in the wheel well and I was able to get it to the side of the road safely.
When you sign the paperwork at Sam's it says you will re-torque after 50 miles.
CYA move. But I have seen them using a torque wrench not just an impact.
