Well yeah. I'm just wondering how a big tire ends up in the road without someone moving it. :p

Actually a few years ago I was driving a NEON (gasp) and a pickup truck a few vehicles in front of me had a load of tires in the back. It hit a pothole on the interstate (remember, this is Oklahoma) and out comes a tire hopping down the road like the Easter Bunny . I swerve over 2 lanes to miss it and it hits the car behind me.

Reminds me of the time I was driving a rented neon (rented because my car was in the shop) and suddenly there was pile of sand on my side of the street up to the hood and blocking most of my lane. I jerked the wheel to the left but sand all over the street made the car start to slide sideways to the right towards the sand. I whipped it back to the right, and kicked the tail out into the opposing lane and slid the car around the pile with the nose of the car facing the pile. By then I had slowed down enough to turn back to the left and straighten the car out in my lane. It was like some full on rally racing shit (at like 40mph tho ). I was like proud of myself for avoiding the accident, but freaked out too, because I wasn't quite sure how the hell I did it! lol
