In the area i live city haul's allot of industrial type garbage by open dump truck happens that spring breakup day a piece of motorcycle engine fell off the tail gate in the middle of mud puddle right in a busey intersection, I happen to drive through the mudpuddle the FOD was coverd by water in my lane and found I drove over a stud right through the tread of the left front tire, I limped the truck over to the side the road got out the jack and jacked er up, the lugnuts were rusted on so I walked the 4blocks to the shop for a 4-way & some penertating oil, finally later on I was able to knock the rim off the Hub with a 8' 2x4 and a 10# hand sledge only to discover the spare was held in by a electric winch that needed a special key to operate (nobody knew where the key was so I needed to cut the retaining cable), the truck had a dealers package 16" aluminum rims the spare was a 15" on a 4x4 truck?? it pays to check that the spare is the same size as whats on the vehicle, was able to mount the 15" on the front and run round with it in 2 wheel drive till I could get a spare built, so I order 5 tires each time I change a set of tires, Ive found that if a valve stem/rim slow leaks and somebody drives the underinflated tire it heats up and causes undue flexing the side wall causeing more the tire to weakin and then its always a slow leak tire, when replaceing the tires change the valve stems to,
The correct size and type / rateing and dont skimp on value when it comes to tire maintenance on 80 PSI tires dont assume use a good pressure gage and do it once a week or every time you get in, I pull the dipstick's and check coolant before every trip.
The worst I had was I was traveling with another guy across state I was following his truck when my Rt front tire blew out on my Dad's Ford farm truck (LN8000) I was hauling 5 purebread Angus bulls they got to tussling in the back and tossing the truck round quite a bit must of cause the blow out, I was a couple miles out of a small town (Indianola Nebr) when the blow out occored and I ended up buying a pair of COOP brand tires so the front end matched, just so I could get back up state.
I found when the bulls started fighting in back I'd bump the brakes couple times and knok them off balance, after a couple thimes they simmer down and rode rode nice.
