Headed to Havasu.,. 15 north was jacked up bad from 91 to the 10. So decided to take 71 to Euclid to Foothill blvd. To the 15 …. might not save time, but at least I was moving.
Foothill approached vineyard red light. 5-10 mph and all of a sudden… back right off suburban drops with a horrible noise. I get out and look… flat tire… but it didn’t sound like a blowout.
I pull in to the Arco station on the corner. As I drove it… I’m thinking, this does not feel like a flat tire….
Look under the car…. Fluid puddle developing at tire. AND the wheel is split in two.
Okay… so the trip to Havasu is officially canceled.
It’s 6:15 … so car rentals are closed except at the Ontario airport. UBER !!! left the wife and dog with the Burb, got a rental and back to the wife.
2.5 hours for the flat bed. Got the tow back to Mission Viejo and will see the mechanic in the morning.
Wondering if there was a bolt loose that rubbed on the wheel… created a weak spot? I have only one other thought - wheel just failed. Internet search didn’t help.
Anyone else experience this?
Last picture is just a thank you for looking at this post to the end.
