Damn, I just saw this thread. You got hit by the whole wheel? Not just the tire?

I feel your pain! I hit a retread in the road a few weeks ago. Cracked my front lip, shifted the bumper a bit, dislodged the data grill from the bumper, knocked out my side marker!

WHY ARE RETREADS ILLEGAL!!! I have never seen a normal tire fall apart like that but I see the truck retreads all over!!

It is complete BULL$HIT and an enormous safety hazard! Good luck putting her back together!

There have been Road Gators all over the NJ turnpike recently.
If not for a couple of quick manuvers, I would be in the same boat as you.
