Well.... that’s unfortunate.

.....and they are laughing while they do it. Don't ask....heh....heh....

Actually I'm missing some of my Coleman camp spoons..........

 

My 07 came with Nitto Trail Grap M/T's. Didn't like them at all but that's for a different thread. I had a slow leak on the driver side rear. Got tired of that sh*t and went to Discount Tire. I noticed a commotion going on and a couple tire techs were taking pics of the tire. Service Manager told me to come over and have a look. The lining inside of the tire was bulged out. A big bubble. A large part of a freakin wire coat hanger had punctured the "inner" wall and protruded enough into the tire to cause a slow leak from the inside....WTF????

 

Am I the only one who feels dirty after reading that? Lol

 

Tire shop pulled this out of the right rear KO2 on my Tacoma. Patched, no issues.

 

Classic post now actually.....

 

Well....apparently we need a dedicated thread to " most unusual flat tire experiences"...
Mods???

 

Might as well make this the thread lmaooo

 

Ah that’s better, nothing a Goodyear can’t fix.

 

I worked at a tire plant for some time. That sounds impressive. The butyl rubber inside the tire is the only thing holding air in. Its a very thin lining. We are talking like less than ¼ of a millimeter. The other rubbers used in tires are porous, and do not hold air well.

If your steel bands had worked through, and poked a tiny hole in it that would have been enough for the inner lining to bubble up like you said.

 

Had a busted door handle on my Camry so had to buy the tundra. Lol

 

Ultraterrain's?

 

Everything you write I read in Beavis' voice.

 

Agreed. It seems to have gone in at an angle. If they dismount the tire, they will see where the hole is, and put a patch on it. In my earlier days, I did patches and plugs for straight line holes. They hold up well.
As DSLKSL said, you can put a tube in it too.

 

you would be correct, so far so good! Quiet and smooth ride.
