bigugli Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXysRO11Xi8 I don't know what it is, or why,.... It seems I have to pick up a piece of metal every month when I drive into Hamilton. Same thing last night. Best part.. the new hole is beside an existing plug and they don't have the tire available til after the holiday. It's been 4 years since I last got a tire to last more than 50k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 You are not having any luck that's for sure. I had a nail this summer that I heard clipping on the pavement when I was driving slow in town with the windows down. It was short enough that it never punctured all the way through. In 34 years of driving that is my only metal ever in my tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 My last flat was in 2005 and the day after I took delivery of a brand new truck. The tire had about 20 miles on it and was ruined by a large drywall screw that went through the sidewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Razor Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 You gotta be pretty darn unlucky to constantly get your tire damaged when driving into Hamilton. If I were you I'd bus it in and avoid the hassle and save some tire repair later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Burlington st. and the Redhill have a lot of scrap haulers running the roads constantly. Sadly those are my main routes into the hospitals. Every tire has been patched at least once. I had the same problem when I worked in construction. Trades were always sloppy when reloading their pouches with nails and screws. That only stopped when I (the site super) started docking anyone we caught dropping metal on the road. We were paying out $400 in tire repairs to new home owners with nail punctures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
