Unless some jealous C**t has stuck it under your tyre on purpose.
I have a tyre repaired last week on my other car and it was just inside of the tread. They plugged and patched it. £10. Job done and its been no bother at all.

Had 2 new rear bridgestones fitted last month and today I pulled out a 4 inch nail which had gone in all the way and within an inch of the side wall so tyre no good.Ill never understand how something this long laying flat on the road gets picked up in the tyre.

It's usually the rear tyre. The nail is flicked up into the air by the front tyre rolling over it, then you get unlucky and it's still in mid flight pointing approximately upwards when your rear hits it.Johnny42 said:

That's actually better than if they were half worn as at least you'll only have to replace 1Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
