Front tires falling off the H2?

[PARAGON]

There is something like 30 incidents in the inquiry. 85% of them were situations where there was an MVA that subsequently caused the front tire to separate in some form from the truck.

It's not all that entirely uncommon. Even in racing vehicles they use straps to contain the parts upon separation.

Nearly all had been determined to be deformed due to a high impact through either the MVA or those that were not initially in a MVA striking a curb or something the like. Turning at moderate speed and driving the wheel into a curb, or even the stupid thing of jumping a 8K lb truck.

It must also be said that quite a few of those 30 or so were GM test mules that were included in the inquiry.

Oh hell, we're selling the truck. No way are we keeping a truck that GM beat on and lost a few tires.
