Couple weeks ago I passed a newer Chev 1/2ton the year where they still had rear drum brakes. It had a sled deck with 2 sleds and was partially in the ditch because the left rear wheel fell off because all the wheel studs snapped off. Must have been a real Debbie downer for the 2 heading home after sledding the weekend lol.

I'd say that this was the tire companies fault as they should have used epoxy glue on the studs.

I bet when they got the unit back on its 3 remaining wheels it was good too go.

Four tires are over rated even with 2 sleds on aluminum deck mounted on 1/2 ton. Ha.
