    Reminds me of a line from a classic movie...
    "My dad's tires were only tires in the literal sense. They were round and had once been made of rubber."

    Front passenger side, luckily it didn't blow out and I got off the road safely.

    Mine was to far gone from getting off the road. I was doing 75 when I'm assuming the nail/screw came out and lost air fast. Need new tires all around anyways.

    That should keep the bearings from heating up, lots of air flow right there.
