Strangest objects that caused your flat tire

[dr. d]

Nails, screws and irregular pieces of sharp metal, are common-enough objects found embedded in your flat tires.
But what are the strangest objects that you have experienced, that caused your tire to go flat?

let me start:
a one peso coin. along edsa.
needless to say, the hole was so long, the tire was judged as too dangerous to patch and re-use.

During the 3+ years ownership of our 1st car, wala pa naman flat tire. Closest is slow leak pa lang. Nung nakita eh isang screw ang salarin. Ngayon mukhang yung isa naman ang may slow leak. While the other 3 tires lose 1-2 psi a week, yung isa eh 7-8 psi ang dinadrop.

a one peso coin.

Same here, somewhere in Tarlac a long time ago on my old mazda 323,. Tapon gulong din. Pumasok pa yung coin sa loob.

Back when I had my Nissan Pulsar NX, I purposely ran over beer bottles and crushing them. I didn't think the glass could penetrate the tire rubber. Was I wrong. The first 3 bottles I ran over went without a problem. But, on the 4th one, a glass shard did penetrate. Luckily, spare tires back then were full-sized ones.

A rogue maverick jagged piece of a street (construction) cover.

OT:
It was a good thing that my oem tpms warned me of a deflating tyre as I was finding a vacant spot in a parking lot of a hospital on a Saturday night.

Else I would have discovered the issue near midnight when I will be rushing to pick up one of our kids, or if the tyre was still not totally deflated, it could have dislodged itself leaving me on the road with a flat tyre (the cut was nasty)...

Anyway, all establishments in a popular motorshop road already closed. Luckily, there was an angel in one of the gasoline stations. He received a generous tip...

A tpms convert after that...

Aal Izz Well!😉😍

Akala ko napako yung gulong ko pero turnilyo pala.. nagtataka ako paano nangyari yun tapos sa huling kaliwa na gulong pa..
Off Topic: Magkano na ba pa-vulcanize ngayon? Feeling ko kasi na-sales talk ako nung cute na nag-assist sakin... Whahahahahahahahaha [emoji23] tawa ako ng tawa habang kinuwento ko sa friends ko yung pangyayari.. Na wala ako balak magpa vulcanize, magpapa hangin lang ako ng gulong.. Eh ang cute nung nag-assist, tapos 20mins lang daw.. Kaya napa-Go na ako.. Naisingit ko sa sched ko..

Yan Ang maganda sa screw, mahina Ang singaw, pwede nga pahangin ka lang Ng pahangin every week, pero Kung cute Ang vulcanizer, priority talaga na matakpan na yan [emoji75]

i used to pa-hangin every week, because of frequent tire puncture c/o small nails and such.
then i decided to fix our long driveway.
from lupa, it is now cement.
ayun! no more pa-hangin.

puro tunay na lalaki ang mga tao sa favorite tire shop dito.

if it is as bad as think it looks... laluna kung the ply can be seen...
you'd probably have to replace the tire.
sidewall damage is potentially dangerous. with the appropriate impetus, it can blow out.

It just a slight tear as you can see in the photo not as bad as it looks I will take this to the shop this weekend and see what they can do and most probably will just use this as my spare tire.

Mahal nga, 100+ lang 1st butas, as long as walang gasgas ang rim, and cold patch ginamit, ok na rin
