Tyres scare the crap out of me sometimes. I was putting 8 bar in a tiny little 26"X1.5" bike tyre when it let go and it made me temporarily deaf. Just imagining the same on a truck tyre makes me wince On 12th Nov, 2009 Paul S said:

shoot it with a pellet gun from 100yards. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

The fitter reckoned it would have lasted about another mile, just enoughto reach a tight 50mph 'S' bend on the M80, not what you want at 44 ton with 32,000 litres moving about in the tank!

I used to know a truck tyre fitter. His bead breaker of choice was a 4" section of angle iron and a sledge hammer... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

We had one not quite that bad on the race truck coming back from france, we noticed it just before we left, but we couldn't get the wheel off, i recon the nuts had rusted themselves in place, i wheel brace and an 8 foot scaffold pole with 4 blokes on it couldn't shift it.

my dad used to have a clever little torquing machine for these, it was a torque multiplier with a little wheel that 'walked' around the tyre side wall

You must be in the minority of HGV drivers as seem to know what is going on! Most would get loads of satisfaction from having the tyre exploded thus requiring the traffic wombles to come along and close the road etc

Most would get loads of satisfaction from having the tyre exploded thus requiring the traffic wombles to come along and close the road etc I tried to flag a wagon driver down the other day as I could see a dodgy tyre and he just looked at me as if i was an inconvenience! The tyre blew anyway but still! Not always I don't! I had a guy driving an E Class Merc flashing his lights and blasting his horn at me on the motorway, now I knew I hadn't cut anybody up, so I was thinking what's this clown all about, eventually I pulled over and one of the trailer brakes was binding and the paint on the back plate was on fire. If he hadn't stopped me chances are it could have spread to the tyre and the rest of the trailer. Thing is, when you are travelling the air movement suppresses the flames, when you stop it very quickly gets a lot worse! 14.914 sec 1/4 mile @ 91.38mph, NA 1293cc on 1.1/2" SU's (all steel and glass shell) |
