Not one but two!
 
Well, since its been a pretty mild winter here in VA this year, I've been waiting to swap out the summer tires for the winter ones. As I've swapped them out today I found not one, but two nails in the same rear tire. Then I found the same kind of nail in the wifes rear tires. I have no idea were we picked them up (I don't keep nails in the garage) but it just hurts...
My guess, someone in the neighborhood lost a box of them on the road or when the trash got "dumped" some might have spilled. Obviously there are lots of options here. It just chaps my butt. I've had cars on and off at this house for over 12 years and never had a single puncture. Guess I got them all at once. Going to try and get them all plugged at a local shop. Just means can't track it all until I get new tires. "F"-me... :shakes head:
Aways something.... Just needed to vent.

Sorry to hear that, had nail problems on my Z last year, Discount Tire did a good job with them. I do not do track events, but I have autocross with no affects.......
good luck

atleast it wasnt one nail in each tire so you only have to replace 1 instead of 2 :icon17: GL with fix :tiphat:

If you have a Costco in your area, stop by and see if they will plug it for free if you have a membership.

I wasn't happy when I saw this:

This one resulted in a new tire:
