Yesterday I took my wife to Charleston SC (in CRV) and on the way back on I 26 a rear tire from a tractor trailer in front of my suddenly exploded with big parts of the tire hitting my SUV.
I was very lucky that their was not a big accident because of this . Driver and I stopped and the damage is over $ 1500 on my 2017 CRV.
If a bike had been behind the truck it would have been curtains for the rider, we were doing over 70 and no room to move over because heavy traffic.
Retreads on truck tires can go any time , you see them all over the Interstates , perhaps they should be illegal.
