Yeah I am in the habit of drafting (at a safe distance) off trucks on freeways and highways. Makes for a nice steady ride as long as you stay out of the buffet. One day on the geelong road (might have featured here) I heard this big deep thump (like a 0.5 Hz wave). I started to brake, not sharply, but putting some distance between my corolla and the truck ahead. About two seconds after the explosion this mess of retread material came out the back of the truck. This stuff is all over the place on that road but its the first time I have seen a wheel go like that.
