Old mid-sized Fo£ds have Firestone R-5• "widow makers" and can kill a person in the other lane while going down the road - literally. I chained them in six places, laid them facing down, and got away when letting the air out of them. I knew a man who had the bones in his arm pulverized when he (stupidly) put 90 psi in a light truck tire. It's amazing that they hold up as well as they do.
The video made me think about the day I pulled the F-500 over with binding brakes. I just crawled underneath and adjusted them. I should have waited at least a while. I guess that I got lucky.
