55 So they want to slash truck tires? As a trucker I'd suggest not doing that! (youtube.com) posted 2 years ago by Toolbane 2 years ago by Toolbane +55 / -0 23 comments share 23 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Sorry about your friend. Split rims are horrifying! Can't believe they still use them!
Thanks. This was many years ago back in the early 1980s. I don't think split rims are very common in the US anymore. I've read they are still fairly common in Europe.
When liveleak was still a website, there were new videos of split rim tires killing people every week, from around the world.
They use them for intermodel (shipping.container trailers)
Similar, friend had a hand tore up. Tire/rim was laying on shop floor. Ring went on through the shop roof.
