I bought a vehicle 3 days ago. I complained about the tires sounding like it was wobbling. I told the owner and other employees that it sounded like something was wrong. They said that they did not hear it but had the tires balanced and the rotors turned. I ran my kids to basketball practice and later on that night the tire sounds got worse and we're much louder. I was driving home and just turned into my neighborhood and my front driver side tire flew off. The tire and rim we're traveling through a yard at 30+ MPH. I slammed to the ground and stopped the vehicle. It was terrifiyng. The flying tire and rim would have fatally injured someone if this was in the daytime hours.
