On road bikes it usually happens when hitting a rock "just so". Like
when the rock gets under the tire off center and flies off to the side

Haha and makes a loud CRACK as it hits the passenger door or window of the car to your left :-)


No kidding, that has happend. Also, drivers give me extra wide margin
when I just came off a dirt path in bad weather and all sorts of gunk
flies off my rear wheel.

And you are pretty sure that that piece of pea gravel damaged my sidewall?


No, sometimes they damage the side wall of my tire. Depends on the shape
of the rock and how it flips while rolling over it.

Just ordered a CST Conquistare 700c*25 for a test. We shall see how that
holds up.
