Wheel, Tire & Hub Failures

Tire blowouts, wheel separations, and hub assembly failures are among the most violent mechanical events on the road. A detached wheel from a commercial truck can weigh over 100 pounds and travel at highway speed. Underinflated tires, worn treads, cracked rims, and overheated bearings are all detectable during routine inspections, yet they remain leading causes of roadside breakdowns and multi-vehicle crashes.
