I guarantee this is one of the strangest tire issues you've ever seen!

Waiting for the tow now. Of course, I'm three minutes from my house, but Ford roadside assistance is insisting on taking the car to the dealership, thirty minutes away.

Glad I bought the wheel and tire warranty.

No doubt a "wrenching" experience....

Sorry, couldn't resist. Glad no real damage!

I can't get the damn thing out of the tire, so perhaps! I'm going to frame it.

I had to swerve to avoid a rapidly dissasembling 2 stage aluminum ladder tonight. I was on I-275 in St Petersburg.

Nothing surprises me anymore on our roads. I have seen a 4X8ft plywood sheet come off a semi in front me, a friend was killed avoiding a full size sofa, and there was a little girl impaled by a section of rebar that came up thru the floor of her mother's car after she ran over it.

My rule is no tailgating ever if you are moving more than 20 mph. Give youself time to see what is in the road. I learned this in my 45 years of motorcycling.

To the OP: you were lucky it could have bounced up and punctured the oil pan.

:thumbsup:
