Re: Spare tire left on the road behind me

I'm going to say that you just flat don't have it tight enough. You have to tighten it down until the bars compress the sidewalls of the tires. Literally taking the end of the lug wrench and turning it until you can't turn any more. Just snugging it up in a "I don't want to mark my sidewall" tightness isn't going to cut it.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
