Removed a screw from rear tyre ( same one I got repaired last month , amazingly)

Iv always wondered how they get embedded ,i mean you couldnt probably place the screw/nail in the road personally to ensure it penetrates, could you ??!

Might be deliberate

Same here last year, bloody massive........ it went in and bent in to an L shape on the wheel!, how the hell does that happen?????

dpb

Actually I can imagine tacks or clout nails stood up might go in

But 1.5" screw with small head ...?? ....

Heard flapping noise from rear about 300 yards on leaving house , head had come off, I had leather man ripoff , so fortunately I could remove it

Should have left it in. It wouldn't deflate as fast.......

300yds from house: deliberate.

I assumed it would go down pretty much straight away too, had to take out was protruding 1/2 inch,it held 30 psi for 40+ miles and 24 hrs
Down now though

Can't imagine why/who, I think it must have fallen through cardboard box bin of work/house waste when I went to dump perhaps - just can't quite envisaged how it bedded itself in the tyre

ive reversed around a corner close to the curb once and had a splinter of glass puncture a tyre. Screws can fall off any wagon.

I can imagine a million reasons why someone would want to puncture YOUR tyre

Anyway, it's been angled up against your tyre by someone ... do you have a loud exhaust which annoys the neighbours?

pslewis

HEY!

They can fall off Saloons just as well, you know!!

My exhaust is brand new, probably quieter than your limp wristed offering Lewis

pslewis

Lewes?

It's SIR Lewis to you, young man!!

I have had punctures from nails or screws and like you I wonder how they can ever get to the angle to penetrate the tyre.
