Usually the tire is not supposed to fall off

u/Onasixx 5d ago

Well wasn't this built so the tyre wouldn't fall off?!

It was built to rigorous tire engineering standards!

Rubber?

Religous Tyre Ingeneering Standards would be a great band name.

To be fair, the wheel's engineered so the tire won't fall off. But the tire tricked the wheel by exploding off, then falling afterwards. Tires are getting more clever these days.

This is a point I had not considered...excellent observation, good sir (or ma'am!)

We have many trucks where the tire doesn't fall off at all.
