Before I retired I worked 35 years in road construction. I have found dozens of tire/wheel combos like that one shown in the picture. Many of them
with the new "tits" not worn off of the tire, apparently because the wheel was not properly tightened after installing a new set of tires. Every briar patch along the interstate highways has possible tire/wheel finds. Mobile home tire/wheel combos are scattered everywhere. I kept track one week while I was marking patches, and I found ten mobile home tire/wheel combos that week and I only looked each day during my 30 minute lunch break. I found a few 20 inch semi tires with the tube liner inside and the sticker still on the tread. How did that happen? I remember finding new looking Budd wheels with no tires on two separate occasions. There's treasure along our interstates!
