I was glad it did too!

Yes, they're SureTrac 235 75 15s.

They could be brand new yet worthless if they're not torqued...sorry, I just had to throw that out there.

Good advice RollinOlds. If you have to change to a spare make sure you retorque the lug nuts the first chance you get.

Where we live, some unknown person(s) were getting their kicks by loosening lug nuts on random cars, and it happened to my '73 Cutlass. I was going down the road and thought I had a flat, but I had braked and decelerated smooth enough to not lose the tire (rear, thankfully) it stayed on the hub even though all my lugnuts were gone; I couldn't believe it was just sitting on the lugs. I had extra nuts in the trunk, put em on and began checking them every time I drove anywhere until I moved from the area (nice neighborhood, too).

A lot depends on the type of tires. Radial tires are designed to self destruct in around six years where bias tires you can usually drive on them until the tread is gone. I had tires on a jeep which lasted 22 years before I replaced them. That was three years ago and I still have them. In a pinch I wouldn't be afraid to put them back on. They have some small cracks but are fully aired up.

The unknown person(s) should get a kick, alright. A few of them. From Herman Munster.

I was thinking the lug nuts were actually STOLEN.

My wheel would've come off after making the few turns I made before going straight, I think. No, they were setting people up to lose wheels at speed...it's a small town, and it had happened to 4 other people that I knew; luckily nobody was hurt. They were nice lug nuts, though, and I did have to go buy new chrome ones. I normally don't carry extras around, but I had em then, so I was lucky all things considered.
