Default 2 flat tires in the same month!

So I got the first flat tire and thought ehh no biggie. But 20 mins ago I got another flat tire on the spare tire I put on couple weeks ago... Idk whats wrong!
And I was a dumbass and tried to go home on a flat but ended up pulling to the side and the inside of my tires are destroyed from driving too long on a flat....

Is it the same wheel position?
Maybe there is something protruding that is cutting the tires.
But since you rode home on the flat, whatever was there, was probably destroyed or moved out of the way when you were driving on the flat

Driving on a flat is dangerous, especially when the tire gets super destroyed in the process.
That shiiiiiit gets messy when you drive too far, you're lucky you didn't destroy your fender & rim....

Are you on stock suspension or lowered?
If lowered maybe you have a wicked camber issue, when's the last time you got an alignment?

This is true!

Not too long ago I checked mine and of course it had little to no pressure.. Hooked up to our nitro machine and converted it. The next week I got myself a flat and was thanking myself for checking it. Normally I do check over these things but @ the time I just recently purchased the car and luckily caught that when I did. I usually carry a cig lighter compressor just in case.
