To be honest it is more likely that the wheel nuts loosened and thats why you lost the whell. You state you drove from the deep to Goole on the M62. If the nuts had been removed in Hull I'm sure you would have noticed sooner. Fitting bigger tyres can exagerate these types of problems which is why we should regularly check wheel nut tightness. Its a common(ish) issue with HGVs and some times the only warning they get is when the wheel comes past the truck. I personally know one Landrover ower who had a similar incident - on the M62.

:/ try reading the opening post again. I noticed as soon as I left the carpark but thought it was a rear prop shaft uj giving up the ghost. I know that wheel nuts need regular checking, I used to be a psv mechanic, checking wheel nuts is second nature especially when your talking about buses and coaches.
