semi-trucks use recapped tires. Sometimes the bonding doesn't hold and the outer tread comes off. That is what you are seeing. About any other tires I couldn't tell ya.

The others are correct. I was west bound on I-44 in Missouri once and a Coca-Cola truck/trailer was ahead of me. I saw a big slice peel off the inside left rear and hit my brakes. If I hadn't, the piece would have hit my windshield. As it was, it hit the road and slid for several feet and I drove around it.

Semi trucks use recapped tires. Every now and then, the tires will lose the rubber. That is what you are seeing.
