Was thinking more about fellow in other group who lost one going over a speed bump last year. Anyone know what happens if a rear wheel suddenly changes geometry at speed? Message #35824 (other group) recently blew rear tire at 65 mph, but that was top to bottom, not side to side. Could car coast to shoulder without flipping itself over? TAB's don't take up much space. Would feel stupid if one needed and I've left at home. Am learning that my DeLo has no hood luggage capacity -- the more tools, floor jack, etc I fill with, the better. Just pack light and throw duffel on parcel shelf.
