Nail in tyre

Second one of the year for me. Luckily the tyre was not new this time.

I had a screw in (brand new ) tire this weekend. Very expensive.

I'm interested to read this, as we seem to regularly get nails and screws in tyres in our Renault Zoe when delivering papers around Charlbury area from Cafe de la Post. We have had two punctures in the past month and a number before then. I can't imagine anyone does it intentionally, but it does seem odd to have so many. Very costly too!

First one of the year for me. A 5cm wood screw. Luckily i spotted it before i had driven anywhere. Right on the edge so tyre ruined.

Two in the last year…  I think work persons let them roll around in the back if their vehicle, and they make their way onto the outer lip, then to the road…

Three in the past six months, a screw, nail and a Stanley knife blade!

Not surprising really considering the plethora of tradesman vans in town at the present time, I have picked up nails/screws where a van had been parked not far from my house. John H

We’ve had three punctures this year, two in the last 8 weeks. Both caused by nails.

Interested to read this. Over the last few years i have been suffering regular punctures. I think i have had in the region of 15. One tyre on my Nissan blew out due to a screw in it on my way to Witney. A couple of weeks later its replacement then had a puncture. When i took it in to Kwik Fit they found the remains of a tent peg stuck through the hole. I thought that this was down to really bad luck but maybe not. Time for the Police to get involved?

Has anyone else driven over a nail recently? I have come across a few people who have and I wondered if there is someone dropping them on purpose??? Quite dangerous as can cause a crash if tyre bursts on motorway. (I ended up missing half a days work at the hospital because of it! Dean a terry at Charlbury garage fixed it really quickly though and charged a very decent price).
