Default nails and screws

i went to honda today to pick up a set of the CR clear side markers and found out i had not 1 not 2 but 3 screws in my rear left tire! i hate when people are irresponsible and leave them out for people to drive over instead of putting them away or disposing of them. they couldn't patch it so i had to buy a new tire. oh well, sh!t happens.

This happend to me at 4000 miles, and I went ahead and replaced both sides.

I also used http://www.tirerack.com because not even the dealer stocks the OEM tires in my area.

That "Certified Plus Warranty" must be something. They replaced damaged tires and now they're repairing the damage from a collision with a shopping cart. That's some serious coverage.

Did you just go in and say you need new tires? I unluckily had 2 punctured rear tires. Took it to Les Schwab Tires to get it patched, but the rim had cut up the insides. They wouldn't put it back due to some safety law, which forced me to buy 2 new whatever Toyo tires for more than stock Bridgestone prices.

Damn...u sure u weren't in an Acura dealership getting your tire replaced?!! The Honda dealerships in my city barely have water and a vending machine for a candy bar or some small package of chips.

I had 2 nails in my tires. One was in the rear passenger side(happened after about 2 weeks of owning the car)...I had to buy a new tire due to damage to the inside wall from the rim. Had to buy new tire. And the other one was the front driver's side...Got that one patched.

After I had to replaced the rear tire I also purchased the road hazard insurance from firestone on all 4 tires(since they're all Bridgstones) and when I had the second nail in the front tire I got it patched at no charge due to the insurance.

It's funny...I had a feeling about the front tire. I checked all my tires' pressures the night before and they were all set to 35lbs., Then I checked them again in the morning and all were still at 35lbs. except the front driver's side, which was at 32ish lbs.
It's like I had a feeling or something.
