way down (far more than I usually would have). I guess there was enough of a curve, and I didn't slow down enough. The truck did a lovely super slow-motion pirouette eventually sliding off of the road (no curb) into the grass. I pulled back onto the road and finished going where I needed to go. When I got there, my tire had 8-12" long bahia grass wedged in the bead of the tire. It must have been quite the sight driving down the road.
Something like this, but bright green grass that was very long
