When you don’t want your Tires and Wheels anymore, do this!

Reverse at 40 MPH tires and wheels

It’s also great for your drivetrain too.

If you’ve ever had a total beater vehicle, then you know that you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want with it. Beat it, smash it, drive it without proper maintenance for long periods of time, and just roast the tires and wheels for fun.

And that’s exactly what this Ford Ranger driver decided to do with their little experiment. They wanted to see what would happen to the drivetrain when they shifted into reverse at 40 mph. This has been tried before on newer, more technologically advanced vehicles only to have safety systems prevent the reverse gear from engaging. This older, less advanced truck, doesn’t and you can bet that its tires and wheels are going to be toast along with some other things, right?

Reverse at 40 MPH tires and wheels

Well, the driver sped up to 40 mph on an empty multi-lane road and then threw that transmission into reverse. Instead of the entire gearbox exploding into tiny bits and fluids leaking everywhere, the tires and wheels locked up into reverse and smoked like nobody’s business. With the throttle still being hammered and the tires and wheels spinning, the truck slowly reversed. After making quite a mess, the driver shifted back into drive, and sped off, leaving a trail of rubber.

Just don’t try this ever, folks.
