Jeep Grand Cherokee fails Moose Test, AGAIN

That shows how much stress that wheel is under. They also loaded it up with weight. Looks like the whole thing needs to be redesigned.
Looks like they need to rethink what tire they have in that application.

Right.. understand that.
It wasn't loaded to the max, but it did have a lot of weight in it.
But still.... almost every time.. when he jerked it back to the right, it blew the tire..
I don't think I will be getting one anytime soon...
I want to see the same test on the Durango now.

I rewatched it and I didn't see the tire blow, I would say it was pretty close to coming off of the rim but it was still intact after it came back down.

The tire actually is in tact, it was unseated from the rim so it ran flat. I'm sure the tire suffered enough damage to be deemed unsafe to use.

Semantics. The point was, the tire separated from the wheel causing a loss of air pressure and an even more dangerous situation.
