On a 65 Barracuda that I had 3 years ago, I finally saved up enough to buy some BFG's to mount on the Cragar SS's that I had saved for for a long time. I had the tires mounted, brought them home and installed them my self. All lugs were properly torqued with a quality torque wrench. On my first trip on the interstate on my way to work the next day, at 65 mph in 4 lanes of traffic, the right front wheel gave a quick vibration, the car dropped to the drum, and my new tire and wheel shot ahead, veered over the same three lanes that I had to cross to reach the emergency lane (not much traction from a drum skidding on the concrete interstate!) I miraculously stopped on the emergency lane right at a 50 foot ravine. I know how deep it was because I had to trek down there 1/2 mile ahead to retrieve my wheel. When I got to my car, there were three people I know including my brother who lives 50 miles away but sometimes crosses paths with me on our commute to work. Needless to say I was shakin' in my boots!
