Unhappy Flat Tire

Pictured is what my rear tire picked up Sunday and left we with a 4" gash.

This metal pc. fell out while removing the tire..

I wish they made run flats similar to what they run on Corvettes and Police BMW

Thank God we (daughter 12 ) were only doing 25mph coming back from a trip Halfmoon Bay via Hwy 84........

Stay Safe !

You can blame a plumber for your flat. That piece is a tool that is used with a screwdriver to tighten the rubber gasket in a remodel style shower drain.

Good to hear no one was hurt. Some of the junk laying on roads has always worried Me.

WOW - you are lucky dude. Blowing a tire out or running flat at speed is no fun especially two up.
