Default Shanked!

So I'm leaving HEB this afternoon and the back end feels a bit squirrely/wobbly just driving down the I10 access road. I pull over and the rear passenger tire is flat. Ugh. I put my stock rims & tires back on for now but here's what I pulled out from the tire...

I'm not sure if it's from debris from the apartment complex since they've been putting in a new fence or if it was just something random on the road; I'm not quite sure what that piece is for.

I haven't taken the tire to discount tire yet but I doubt it's damaged the rim any more than the broken control arm did on the ap1 wreck if any damage at all.

The stock Bridgestone RE050's feel a bit more slippery and less confidence inspiring than the Falkens do. I wonder how the Direzzas are going to feel compared to the Falkens.

Direzzas should feel even better than the Falkens.
