A different video of a tire failure problem
Here is a video of a tire failure that I have not seen before. I have nothing else to do right now so I thought that I would post it on here to see if anyone wanted to comment on it. https://www.y...

True, but remember what tires were when we started driving? They were bias ply tires made from natural rubber, most likely, and, if you were as broke as I was when young, they sometimes looked like baloney skins. Also, there was a lot less Interstate or well improved road.
It all added up to needing the skill of changing a tire and no one thought it was a bad thing. If anyone was caught with a flat and no means to change it, they were roundly scolded and labeled as an idiot.
Today, people can't be inconvenienced with such things. An example: A friend of mine bought property in FL, mainly to dodge taxes. He moved his Wife and kids down there so there would be no question about residency. He stayed in MN during the week to operate his business. He got a call, one week, from his Missus who was stuck on the freeway with her new Jaguar, stalled. He explained to her that there was little he could do from 1500 mi. away and to call AAA. The tow driver eventually arrived and found she had run the car out of gas. It never occurred to her that she would have to add gas into the car. :? :R
