Ps - nhtsb study suggests that 68% of road debris is from retreads.
The items you mentioned on the road were illegal to have been placed there - we have laws to protect us from that debris. Oh wait, wait... The retreads on the road aren't illegal everything else is illegal my bad.
If painters across this country were somehow losing ladders at the rate these retreads are failing then I would also push for legislation to save us from ladders. I got nothing against the trucking industry or the retread industry in general. Figure out a a way to stop throwing things at us and we can all get along.
We have a fix - after many beers and hours of deep bar conversation... Here it is:
Embed a serial number unto the underside of every single retread cap. Record the owner of the serial number as it is sold. Now, we have a way to hold accountable the ass hat that is hurting are cars by suing the individual that left his tire in our path.... Just like the guy with the ladder.

I truly do believe you - if the technology is applied correctly and the tire is maintained it will likely work as intended. A quick trip down any highway tells us something is wrong, very very wrong.
