Never ride in the center of the lane, that's where all the grease and oil are, plus all the crap. Here in CA, we get huge chunks of truck tire on freeways because the state allows truckers to run with retreads.
You must be a new tire salesman because that statement really make little sense. Take all the retread in the world and throw them in the ocean and there will still be chunks of tires lining the freeway. Most tire failures are caused by underinflation and/or overloading.

Almost every single chunk of tire you see on the roads is from a recap truck tire. Period. And I don't sell tires.

I keep my distance from pickup trucks loaded with loose debris, any type of trailer (including bike trailers) - pretty much anything that could ruin my day. Unfortunately, sometimes it's unavoidable.

Are you using you own anecdotal evidence, or just talking out your rear-end? I hate to inform you, bud, but that is just not the case. That would kinda be akin to someone saying all Harley riders are ***, on the grounds that they do not like bikers and there are bound to be some *** riders out there.
I was out riding with my son the other night ( he's 16 and rides a 1981 Shovelhead ) Lucky sh*t... anyway there was a pickup truck ahead of us carrying a huge load of split rail cedar fence, no tie downs, just floating out past his tailgate, the pieces were shaking about as he drove down the road, so I signaled my son to slow down a put some distance between us and the truck. As we watched the truck go over the bumps in the road, the load was shifting further back, we turned at the next intersection. Nothing happened, but as I was reading this thread, it reminds me that you really have to look out for your own safety, "watch out for the other guy"

Not ALL Harley riders are *** but don't lose hope....you'll meet someone someday.

Had a friend that died as a result of a camper shell blowing off a pickup truck that couldn't be avoided. Sometimes even being a safe distance back doesn't guarantee your safety. My thoughts and prayers go out to this couple.
