The dynamics of running into something with a tire at interstate speeds are "interesting"... it's kind of like straw impaled through trees after a tornado. I was in a tire store that displayed some of the more interesting punctures - I remember one was a pair of slip-joint plumber's pliers through the entire center of the tread. I think what likely happens is that the front tire kicks up the object so the rear tire hits it "just right".

If it's on the edge of the tire it can pop out, or be caught in the tread
and flung.

On two separate occations I've had a FRONT tire pick up a tool (pliers) and had them driven into the tread of high dollar tires! Luckily, neither damaged the alloy wheels! Neither was on the GMC MH. Hell, it won't keep running long enough to find F.O.D.!

Most motorcycle flats that are caused by debris are usually kicked up
from the front tire. Once disturbed, it can bounce along the
undercarriage until the rear tire takes the hit.

My initial vote was for a .223 or 30 caliber carbine.
I haven't been back on that forum since yesterday to see if there is any more information.
This was a small tire on a Honda Fit.
It is something like 1.85x55-16, but still steel belted.

Mounted on the car, the center of that wheel would have been full of brakes, axles, suspension etc. Yet it looks as if the hole was started straight out from the center, not a glancing blow from the side?

I went back and re-read the entire thread. He never stated what position the tire was mounted on (front or rear). I had two of those of those that I threw away. If I still had them I would try firing a few rounds of different sizes at the tread and see what happens.
Oh well, it was interesting to look at the photos.
