[Bimus]

I worked at a service station in high school when one of the real split wheel would come in we would fix the flat or change the tire and only air it up when it was back on the steering axle or on the inside of the rear axle then drive the truck around the block and then swap out tires on the rear axle so if one did come apart the flying part would hit the frame . One night I mounted 4 new car tires and when every one was gone the cords separated on one of them and it blow in the shop .
