I see, so you are thinking that the tire edge pinch the rock so it goes laterally toward the cooler.
But the car is moving forward though right? Also the edge of the tire still rotate, not just the tread, so there is going to be some vector of force applying to that pinch velocity so the rock can't just go laterally completely.
Not saying that isn't possible but just seems almost physics defying to me. That's why I am trying to see what other folks opinions are.
