How many alligators did you see this weekend?
This was the first major holiday weekend that we went out, albeit late as we didn't take off until Friday evening. The number of tire carcases was extremely high in my mind. Heck, thirty minutes aft...

OK, it was the next weekend, 980 miles from Wichita to Michigan, through Kansas, Missouri (on US-36), Illinois, and US-24 and 31 in Indiana. No alligators until I-69 in Michigan, where trucks were running 10 over their 65 limit, and many cars 80 +
We've heard high speed Kansas picks them up. Rest of the route, lower speed Interstates and even slower highways. What kills tires? Heat in the tread. What builds heat? Load, proportionately, and speed, to the square (which also provides force to throw the tread). How fast are you driving in Colorado.
What we did see on the road, mornings, were skunks in cornfield country, raccoons in forest and lake country.
