Glad I'm still alive.

Wow, something like this just happened to me today, but to a much lesser extent. My passenger side tie-rod somehow came unbolted on me on the highway around 80mph. I actually didn't notice until I too my exit without slowing down and the car went straight. I managed to slow down enough to make the corner, but it still scared me quite a bit. The wheel was somehow staying straight on the highway.

Glad you made it out safe as well.

Centrifugal force was your friend and enemy on that one...haha.

was the tire rated to handle those speeds? or was it a lower grade tire?

Glad to hear you made it out alive.

Yeah, it was rated for those speeds, actually was rated for WAY higher speeds.

thanks guys... still scary to think about it.

WOW! Could that happen cause of to much stretch ?

in my multiple sets of tires and high speed driving ive never had a tire blow out, and i run some pretty extreme stretch. I've even driven at 80mph with the tires at 0psi and nothing happened. That bead isnt coming off
