Answer 3

Let me guess, your car has aluminum wheels. Aluminum wheels do have a tendency for the lug nuts to work loose even if they are torqued to the proper specs. It has happened to me personally twice in my driving career. This is also what happened to you. One or more of the lug nuts came loose which caused a few of the others to gradually come loose until the wheel started to wobble. Because you didn't stop when you should have the stress finally broke the studs. Because of this at my shop we have a policy that all aluminum wheels are installed with impact guns and torque sticks. The lug nuts are then checked for tightness again with a hand-held torque wrench before the car leaves the shop. Even after that we still tell our customers to come back when they have driven around 100 miles so we can check them again. Even with checking the wheels twice we have had 3 customers come back this year who did not return for the follow-up check that had wheels come loose. We have never had someone who came in for the follow-up have a problem. I don't know if Sears has a similar policy but a lot of tire shops do. The fact remains though that by not pulling over when you first noticed the problem you put your life in jeapardy and caused significant and avoidable damage to your car. If you had pulled over when you first realized there was a problem the lug nuts probably could have been re-tightened and you would have been on your way, no harm, no foul, no cost. I apologize if this seems harsh but being "a girl" is no excuse for ignoring a serious problem.

Answer 4

Tire alone could be underinflation, turning to hard,a bad tire,or a poor quality retread, hitting something could also cause this.
If it is rim and all; lugnuts not set properly,missing lunuts,I also where the axel nut broke the carterpin (shear pin) and the whole thing come out! My friend had his tire come off and damage 5 brand new cars in a dealership he was driving by. Evedenice showed showed some one had lossened all the lugs!

Answer 5

Cornering at high speed will flex the rubber tyres. Now the tyre won't come off completely unless the tyre explodes (a blowout). This will be caused by underinflation. It is possible for a tyre to come off of a vehicle wheel if the wheel itself doesn't have the appropriate internal contours to hold the tyre bead in a fixed immovable position. If the wheel is internally smooth then the tyre can under heavy side loadings (while cornering) slide sideways and come off either off the car and away or off the car and under the car.

Answer 6

If its the tire off the rim, I would think the tire pressure was low and possibly going around a corner at the same time. If its the tire and rim, it could be several things such as loose lug nuts, ball joint, caliper, or even twisted bolts that the lugs go on.

Answer 7

The tire can come off the car because you drove on it after it went flat.

The wheel can come off the vehicle because the lug nuts were not properly tightened or came loose and you ignored it for the many miles it wobbled and made horrible noises before it came off.

Answer 8

Loose Lug Nuts, Cracked or broken rim, high speed flat, Broken "A" Frame or Brake spindle.

Answer 9

A bad wheel bearing if u did hear huming noise from the front if u turned the wheel left or right. Or a bad ball joint with a tie rod combo

Answer 10

punctures
