Flying debris hit my car (tires)?
I was driving on highway behind a ford pick up I was going about 65mph. Tire tread and two tires flew from the back of the pick up I swerved to miss and one tire ended up damageing my car from the drivers side as I swerved to miss getting hit I accidentally scraped my two passenger rims back and front against the side of the road also piece of the tire tread went under my car and the cover that goes behind the bumper to cover the headlights and fog lights fell off now car makes a thumping noise. Will this fall under comprehensive or collision.
Collision is only if you were in an accident with another vehicle or a stationary object like a tree or fire hydrant. This would fall under comprehensive.
- I found some debris while rebuilding my ford 390? I'm about halfway through rebuilding my ford 390 out of my '70 Galaxie. I find plenty of little metal chips in the greasy soup inside. But I also found something which surprised me. It looks like long, tiny coil springs. And there's a whole bunch of them circulated everywhere inside of the motor. Where did these little springs come from?
- Can 225/70R16 tires fit on rims that have 225/70r14 tires on them? I have 225/70r14 tires on my Ford ranger. I just got some 225/70r16 tires of the same brand, Cooper, given to me. Will they fit on the 225/70r14 rims or do I need to get rims to fit the 225/70r16.
- If a car causes another car to swerve and spin-out, is it considered hit-and-run if they leave the scene? On the way to work this morning, I saw a Ford truck cut off a smaller car and the poor car spun out in the rain and ended up facing the opposite direction. This caused the traffic to stop because it looked like the vehicle wouldn't start. The ford truck most likely knew he did that but kept going, instead of stopping. He didn't hit the car or any cars at all during the time. If he didn't actually hit anything, is it still considered hit and run? Should he have stopped?
- Will a set of 235/60-R17 tires fit a vehicle with 225/50-R17 tires currently? If they do I'm assuming there would be a MPH difference on the speedometer. Update: The 60 series set is from a 2014 Ford Focus and are stud-less winter tires. They are to go on a 2012 Ford Fusion.
