my wheel exploded - got pictures
#4
I was on the freeway and the car jacknifed. I turned to the right so I did not go into the center divider (concrete). The car went off the road and went into some dirt area when the wheel flew off a rolled away and the side dropped down. I slid into some dirt in the side of the road where I got stuck. I did not think the wheel was off the car. I got out and looked to see the hub attached and the outer wheel rolled several yards forward. Shattered my right side mirror and other small damages.

No prior damage, no potholes, 14K miles. Alway had tires at factory recommended pressure. 29R/32F psi and had the wheels rotated regularly. 4 regular lugs and 1 wheel lock per wheel. Tire was still in good shape, it had good tread and did not blow out or go flat from looking at it. Mitsubishi dealership its at is going to have to look over this. If the wheel did not blow up on I could have just got back on the freeway and drove to Vegas cause the car would have still been drivable had that not happened.
