Tire came off my Celi.... Options

[Chhaos]

So today I was just driving to meet my girlfriend. Everything was going good. Slowed down to take a turn at about 10 mph and all I see is my tire rolling into the SUV stopped at the light. Get out, see the huge gouge I left in the road and realize my lug nut studs got completely sheared off somehow. Worst part is that it banged up my fender pretty bad. Will maybe try to get pictures some time soon.

a bad bearing would not snap the studs, what snaps the studs oddly are loose lug nuts. loose lug nuts allow the weight of the wheel to push perpendicular against them since the clamping force is gone, they're not made for that kind of load and they break. check the hub of your wheel, is it caked with corrosion? that can cause you to loose torque as the soft aluminum corrosion compresses after the lugs are tightened. clean the hubs of aluminum wheels when they are dirty, always. its a pain in the ass but it has to be done. apply some brake grease in a light coat to prevent them from corroding more and sticking to the brake rotor hat.

also always torque and re-check your lug nuts later if hand torquing.
