• Description:
  From 2011-2018, five workers were killed in Michigan by exploding tires while servicing wheel rims and inflating truck or tractor tires. A rim wheel is the component assembly of wheel (either multi-piece or single-piece), tire and tube, plus other components. A single-piece rim wheel is a vehicle wheel or rim consisting of one part, designed to hold the tire on the rim when the tire is inflated. A multi-piece wheel is a vehicle wheel consisting of two or more parts, one of which is a side or locking ring that holds the tire and other components on the rim wheel by interlocking the components when the tire is inflated.
