Edinburgh - Wheel had came off
Discussion
I had a wheel come off my race car trailer on the M8 (a long time ago now) The trailer used mini 10" wheels and the holes for the studs had opened out (usually caused by overtighteneing the wheel nuts) eventually wearing through the studs causing the failure. Interesting to see the wheel overtaking me before the trailer (4 wheel) sagged down a bit on that side and started rubbing on the road. No drama just moved onto the hard shoulder and got out to stop my erant wheel as it passed me again (I think it had had a trip up the embankment and back down again!)

Check your wheel nuts after 50 miles of having the wheels off. Back in '92 I had the discs and pads done on my Scooby, and after 500 miles a wheel fell off. I thought I had a flat for 30 miles until the wheel fell off on the Edinburgh City Bypass.
You drove for 30 miles with what you thought was a flat tyre?Am i missing something?
