I wish I knew! Yesterday, I was totally paranoid when driving on that section of the road…

No kidding! I can’t imagine what you could possibly have hit to cause damage like that. I mean, holy cow! The rim? Seriously? I dunno, if you run over a bullet from, say, an elephant gun, can it do something like this? Must’ve been one hey of a lot of kinetic energy involved to take out the rim, and I just don’t see anything non-explosive being able to do this. (But then I’m no mechanic. ;))

What’s that?

Improvised explosive device

Wow! I don’t blame ya for being cautious about driving there again. I emailed my dad, he’s a mechanic, to see if he’d know anything that could do that and am waitin for a reply.

Thanks! Our theory so far is some sort of big nail.

Something didn’t fly at you, you went over it. Probably rebar sticking out of the road. Was it on or near a bridge?

Nope… that’s why it’s so weird.

I’m glad you are OK and no one got hurt

Wow Medley! I was thinking along the same lines as Snap…Maybe it was a railroad spike. I have never seen that before, and I even worked in an auto shop for 2 years…I’ve seen alot of tires that you wonder what it was they ran over, but nothing that punctured the rim like that!
GLad it was in the back tire, not the front…I’d have hated to see anything bad happen to you, or anyone else on the forum…
