Tire termites?
The termite-damage-like crevices in this tire are the result of extreme voltage, âelectricity that âburrowedâ through this tireâ when a boom truck hit a high wire and the electricity made its way through the frame on its way to the ground, wrote the editors of Real Answers, where the pic first appeared. If you think of rubber as the ultimate insulator, think again, they added. âEven insulators will conduct electricity if the voltage is high enough.â (The operator walked away from this incident unharmed.)
