I did not have my new Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires on my car when I noticed my left rear was flat.

I took it back to America's Tire to have it checked and they found a broken GM ignition key embedded in the tire. The tip had broken off and what remained looked more like a small dull knife blade. It sliced right through the tire between the tread pattern....

They said they had never seen anything quite like it and are replacing it at no cost.....

 

I had a Snap-On 9/16" combination wrench embedded in the tire of my '63 Buick quite some time ago.

Weird stuff happens!

 

I guess if yer gonna get "keyed" that this is a better way to do it.

 

Weirdest thing I've had in a tire was a "S" hook end (off a black rubber bungee) through the sidewall of a boat trailer.

 

I must knock on wood; I have never had a flat in my life...

 

Prepare to have one soon after saying that. LOL I know I said that once...Never again. Hope you don't have the same luck I had.

 

my daughter's car had a long skinny srewdriver in the tire, without the handle of course and everytime she drove it, it would bang inside the rim. She didn't know what it was until we checked the tire and saw a little part of it sticking out. The funny thing was that it wasn't flat. So we yanked that bad boy and couldn't believe how long it was.

 

I went out side one morining and noticed all 4 tires were flat on my prelude and the one tire had a knife sticking out of the side wall. Road hazzard I think not. But I made a phone call to my recent EX-GF at the time and said "Thanks for showing me how much you still love me sweety!" Then she laughed and hung up the phone.
Thats the only time I can remember when I had something strange sticking into my tire

 

Shut-up......

 

Perhaps you should consider doing background checks on the girls you date.

 

I assume after the deed?

 

Yes, as long as he gives a false name and they don't know where he lives.

 

This sounds good!! Hello my name is Rudy! I live in Minnesota, nice to meet you.

 

Contis are tender devils. I had a hollow 1/2" copper pipe go thru mine in a Nashville rainstorm. Then, I fixed it on the wheel, and on the car, as a tornado raged overhead.

Amazingly the patch/plug held and I drove all the way to Dragon and back to St Louis on it. My tire guy said it was the neatest plug job he'd ever seen and proceeded to put on a new set of Generals.

And to over torque the lug screws and warp my rotors

FP in Chicago works too.

 

Nah, half the women in the country have already heard that one.

Damn, and "Tiger" doesn't work anymore either.

 

I had a 5" spoon fishing lure in a tire once. Because of the shape of the lure I couldn't pull it out or push it back in to patch the tire. Oh yeah, it was on my boat trailer & went in while I was launching. Was pretty funny to see the tire bubbling away underwater while I took the boat off the trailer, but it sucked to fix!!!

 

Ran over a pair of sissors....one half went into the front tire then the remaining half found its way to the rear..two flats in one !

Kim, there easier to fix out of the water ?

 

I had a railroad spike in one of my pickup tires, sound like it was tap dancing
