“I was driving east, just past monroe, la, on I-20 just prior to mile marker 126 when the right passenger tire came off my e150 1993 Ford van. I was able to maintain control of the van to get it off the road. Thankfully, the rim/tire, and brake caliper did not hit a vehicle; I found it about a half mile prior to where I was able to get the van stopped. I thought I a blowout had occurred but when I looked, there was no rim or tire on the van. I bought the van new in late 1992 and have maintained it well throughout its lifetime. How can this happen? …”
