Yesterday a tire came off a suburban and hit the side of my parents house. The tire traveled about 200 yards snaked through a bunch of trees to hit the house. Nobody was home and nobody got hurt including the driver. I am thinking the after market rims were wrong for the vehicle. 3 studs were sheared and 3 pulled through the rim.

Where the tire hit the house

The inside wall. The tire hit a stud square otherwise I think it would have been worse.

some of the mess . It broke an old marble top dresser and knocked it about 5 feet into the room. There were book shelves on the wall so books everywhere. Some flew across the room and damaged the wall on the other side. It is a mess but could have been much worse.

 

Holy crap. You never know... Glad no one was right there inside when it happened

 

Yep. Had a similar issue years ago-our new Youth Pastor at church lived next door to the church with his wife. She was (I believe) 7 months pregnant with their first child and got up to do something...not 30 seconds later a trailer tire from a passing Semi barreled through the front window and onto the couch where she was sitting.

Nevermind the damage done to vehicles in that instance-that doesn't matter at all when it comes to property/bodily harm.

Glad everyone was okay.

 

Good to know that everyone is ok. Did the driver provide insurance info at least?

 

Yep his insurance will cover everything. As he said he couldn't run anywhere on 3 wheels

 

That outlet is dangerously close to the impact, a few inches and it may have hit it and started a fire.

 

I thought the same thing. Really it all could have gone so much worse. I am glad everyone is ok. 🙏👍

 

When ever I remove a wheel/wheels. Torque to spec and drive it for a mile with quick stop both forward and reverse and come back and re torque and I always have some that will turn slightly.

 

I am glad to hear that your parents are not a home and they are all fine and also glad to hear driver also fine.
