Bazza Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 found this strange event over on the US is300 site I was driving home from work, heard my rear tire go and pulled over. Called for a tow, he got there and as he was putting the car on the flatbed he noticed the wrench in it, the tire place pulled it out (cut it out i should say, i couldn't pull it out ) and we all had a good laugh.

discount tyres dan Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 i work in a fast fit centre and i am amazed at the things that force their way through tyres, screws and nails are the obvious but, front door keys, drill bits, 240v mains plug, spoon, but the best was an 8mm steel rod that went through the tyre and then through the rim, punched a hole right through the alloy.

scorps Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I dont think its true! Looking at his quote he said the tyre centre pulled/cut it out.....so did the tyre company come round his house as it looks like a back garden fence in the background,why didn't he check the tyre when it first went bang?....was he too lazy to get the jack out and change it himself or is that above a Lex owner/American?
