2 Flat Tires in 2 weeks: Nails Falling out from Tire??
I've had 2 flat tires in 2 weeks. The first one was definitely a nail puncture from the road as we pulled out one that was 3" long.
The second one, however, only had the puncture hole. No nail. It's weird because I swear when I parked my car in our underground condo parking the tire was fine (front driver side). When I came back about 2 hours later it was COMPLETELY FLAT. I really don't want to think that it was sabotage because I share a parking lot with others, but how likely is it that a nail would puncture your tire and fall out??
My guess is that it's not likely, anyone had this happen to them before?

Yeah, I did...I had three flats on three different tires in a two-week period. I found two of the nails, but the third was one of those in-and-out things. I pulled into the parking lot where I work, got out of the car, and heard a hissing noise. The tire was flat within a couple of minutes, but whatever punctured it was nowhere to be found.
At least I had the tire warranty thing, so they were all fixed for free.
