if you worked the same job in a 3rd world country like mine then youd loose an arm or two from all the imported used tires we import from you guys in the usa

@@kevmitch49921. You import used tires where you are? 2. I’m not in the USA.

Stroh's had some of the best beer TV commercials of all time. My fave was when Stroh's did a commercial parody of the movie _Flight of the Phoenix_

Hey I worked on one of those lol in the 1980's. I did a much better job. Was scary shit to learn about so always conscious of when I was beside a big rig.

And when the trucks were better

@@gorgo54 my dad told me horror stories about them

It's not video, it's not an action movie, it's a frigging public service documentary on FILM. It's clear you don't understand that film editing isn't like dicking around with the camera software on your phone. The information was presented clearly and concisely, and it's pretty silly to get snotty about 'the editing' like you were expecting it to be a fast-paced thriller cutting between three angles of everything in slow-motion the whole time.

Actually the word has a long history of being used that way. I don't care for it, but it's use predates anyone currently alive.

@Womb Raider Yes I have when I worked at the bus garage for Olmsted Falls schools Several buses had those split rim wheels but the boss walked me through it But I didn't like messing with those rims to begin with

@Womb Raider Thank you , I'm just glad that they have been outlawed

Good. That gives you more time to practice your English.

Firestone and Goodyear make tires, not rims. When you make tires, like a rubber product producer, you don't question the type of engines, drivelines, axles, wheel ends, or the mounting methods required. You make what the vehicle builder asks you to build, and then you start building other similar products that you hope to sell en masse after the OEM products wear out. As long as there was demand for 10.00 - 20 tires, or 11.00 - 20 tires, you cranked them out. When orders slowed for bias ply tires, you started taking orders for 24.5 inch radials, then 22.5's, 19.5's, etc. It all hinges on the designs of the builders. What GMC, FORD, DODGE, Kenworth, Mack, Peterbilt, etc wanted to equip their trucks with, is what the axle builders, rim makers, etc. fell over themselves to produce for the builders. The eventual phasing out of bias-ply tires came with the improvements and better quality that radial designs offered, and with that came different sizing, different styles of mounting the wheels on the axles, and different methods of mounting the rubber on the wheels or rims. It is not impossible to still find older technology still sitting around on older equipment, but it became illegal at some point to put split rims on newly-built equipment, as the dangers were already well known. Laws had to be created and passed to hasten the phasing out of that stuff as OEM, but there is still some manufacturers who do small runs of the older bias-ply style tires for the holdouts who keep on running their now-antique equipment and haven't bothered to adapt newer wheel-end mounting systems to accommodate newer, safer wheels and rims. The old hands who are still with us, learned to respect the designs of the older times. Using a cage might be considered "wussy" by some, but for those who would like to live out their days intact, using a tire cage and other safety equipment designed to save lives in the event of a mis-mount, or tire failure while being inflated, is a worthwhile investment that just might pay off handsomely.

@@stanpatterson5033 they still make and sell bias ply and nylon tires. I just bought a set for my ford dump truck with dayton hubs. it has locking band wheels and I like them because they are easier to service in the field, not everyone has a 1 inch impact and air compressor sitting around for the occasional wheel or tire change. not to mention the cost to convert my truck to new wheels with radial tires is just over $6000 no labor. My new nylon tires cost just over $2000.

A friend of mine got pretty fucked up by one about a decade ago.

Depends on where you live..

@@fr9509 well here in Australia you see them sometimes because of our dry climate things don’t rust out as quick

That would be the easiest lawsuit w

@@A_jacksonUnless you live in a right to work state

How about the Ukrainians

That’s not why they have tubeless tires. They use them because they run cooler

Those had tubes?

@@the_kombinator yes them old ring style and split wheels use tubes.

@@servicetrucker5564 'steel belted radial' tires run cooler and have less rolling resistance than nylon tires. but nylon tires are more durable and stronger which is why they are still in use and use on all heavy and light equipment.

@@MrChevelle83 Yes

Jean-Sébastien prior to the development of the " drop center wheel " it was impossible to work the bead of the tire over the rim . With the development of the drop center you effectively reduce the diameter of the wheel and allow for the bead of the tire to slip over the rim of the wheel .

repair in the field, literally a field

I had heard it was because it would be easier (read: more cost-effective for the trucking companies) for a driver to fix a flat tire on the road with Dayton-style wheels. If you look at pictures of old trucks and trailers with multi-piece wheels, it already has the split rim mounted to the tire on the spare.
