Saw a spare tire fall off an SUV on the 401 this morning... Narrowly missed a motorcycle and narrowly missed me. Do yourself a favor and crank your tire down and make sure the cable is ok and lubricate it and crank it back up. Almost every minivan, SUV and Truck will have a tire that comes out from the bottom with a thin steel cable.
Pass this on. And yes, I call the opp to report the tire on the highway.
This is the end of my public service announcement.
