Default Stock Tires and Nails...

Anyone else finding nails in their tires? Had one near the side wall a couple weeks ago which couldn't be repaired and now I have another nail in another tire... I've never had a nail in my entire life of driving, so either I'm extremely unlucky or these tires just love nails.

I got a screw stuck in mine (@ only 250mi) but it was repairable and a piece of glass on the same tire but it didn't puncture... These tires are super sticky, same like the ISF stock tires...

has nothing to do with tire compound, just sheer luck

Boriii... In both your situations, how did you deal with the no spare tire situation ??

Thanks

Both times I was able to just take it to a shop before it was unable to be driven since I got a warning that my tire pressure was low and I always keep the side display on tire pressure.

In my experience I always get them when I have Michelins. Maybe its that they are sticky or maybe that its just the luck you have when you roll on the pricey tires. I always go Michelin. Just make sure you get the tire warranty
