Bloody nora! The only thing I have seen go through the tyre and rim before like that was an LAVTD.

I believe all were good. I'd say it would've jammed against the caliper and locked up. The road was freshly graded.

The statement is correct, it didn't go through the sidewall right?

But what is the chance that that will ever happen this way. Very small.
