I think common sense prevails here, under no circumstances should someone attempt the retrieval of a tire tread, casing etc. on a highway. Sure, they are dangerous obstacles in the road, just no way I'd even think about it on a highway in these times.
On a trip down to Kentucky, just before you go through the underpass that goes by where the Reds play in Cincinnati, with daylight fading, at the last second I spotted an entire super single carcass in the road, right in my path. My friend who should have been an attentive co-pilot, was instead looking down at a GPS device. Had I not seen this darned thing, I cannot imagine at what would have happened at highway speed. At least I was driving my '16 F150, short box regular cab, the darned tire on the road was standing up and was a prime target, along the beginning of a turn in the road.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
