Had to look that one up! Makes perfect since in a VERY weird way!I think I solved this weird happening.
A Javelina
I took some of the fibers out ant they were pointed on one end and square on the other.
They were also gray with white in them and very strong.
After the big noise I pulled over and looked then drove back to the spot, albeit 5 minutes later.
Then I saw 12 Javelina's cross in front of my car a few hundred feet from the location.
So it has to be this. Guess one ran right into the side of my wheel while I was going 30mph. Must have been pretty heavy to allow the hairs to get caught in the rim.
Relived to at least have some plausible answer as riding down the highway on a tire you have no idea where these strands came from is not reassuring.
