Narrative:

On rollout during landing; we hit a white panel about 2 ft square with our nose tire between the first and second high speed taxiway off runway xxl. It was in the middle of the runway and we hit it about 100 KTS. We informed tower and had maintenance check the tires upon arrival. It stripped off the tire tread on one of the tires and caused some structural bending to the airframe according to the mechanic.
