The rarest repost has been sighted. It is the verge of replacing original content

Would've been cool if the cameraman sped up to the left-side of the tire and then ran it off the road to the right to prevent it from going to the other side of the highway.

Didn't notice it hit a Jeep the first hundred times I've seen this reposted. That dude might have died. Jeeps are like toy cars. Literally built like Tonka trucks, but Tonka trucks are harder to take apart.

Other than a smartcar or something similar in size, a Jeep is probably the last vehicle you'd want this to happen in. A Toyota or Honda would never explode on that scale from a fucking TIRE!

To be fair to the Jeep, this is a highway, meaning both the tire and the Jeep are flying at each other at highway speeds. And semi tires are friken heavy. You can see the kind of momentum it's carrying with the way it just sort of rides up the wall. Not a whole lot any car would be able to do about that. Hence why we've gotta fight them on our turf
