I was driving and started to hear the dreaded clicking sound. Got out of the car to find a fu?ken shoe tap with the nails pushed into my front/drivers side tire.
Pulled the sh?t out but found that there was still a tiny nail stuck in. Wrestled with this like a madman for quite some time, but it just wouldn't budge. Got home and got out the trusty pliers. Pulled the nail out and then i heard the hissing sound and quickly shoved it back(WTF). This nail is
about an inch long and a little thicker than a thumb tack also only about half went it to tht tire. I mean are these tires made out of fuc?en tissue paper or what? There supposed to be steel belted. This is my 2nd flat in 6 months. Oh well let me go remove the tire and roll it on down the gas station.

 

I feel for ya man. I've also had 2 flats in 10 months, both rears which make it even more difficult because of the LSD. Good luck getting it repaired

 

These tires have a very soft compound due to the fact these are high performance tires. Plus I would be more carefull where I park and drive my car. Make sure u don't drive through work areas, etc..

 

Do all the new kids on the block know the proper procedure for changing a rear tire? It's in the manual.

Usually when I find something in my tire I leave it there and drive "slowly" to the nearest tire shop. ( assuming I still have tire pressure ) Let them fix it, re/re the tire and don't get my hands dirty.. Then again I'm kinda a pussy when it comes to getting dirty.
