neo Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Had to my change my first tyre since i started driving!!!! , typically i had just fitted a full set all round just before christmas Can you guess what metal object punctured the tyre from the picture as thats all i could see from the outside. Lets just say it destroyed the inside of the tyre and will have to source a new one !!!!!!! (no prizes just thought i'd share my misforturne) Quote
neo Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 cleverclogs i mean the metal object in the picture (edited post above) Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 god knows. it looks aluminium? Quote
neo Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Look like U nails? Nasty... way bigger than nails, think more stainless steel, i couldn't believe it when the tyre fitter pulled it out from the inside. Quote
twobears Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Knife and fork? That could be the end of the handles? Quote
neo Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 hope not i'll reveal the object, if no one guesses it beforehand, at 5pm today ( if i remember that is ) small clue - the object comes in various sizes Quote
neo Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Knife and fork? That could be the end of the handles? close another clue it is something u can cut things with. Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME! Lol Quote
Harryjax Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 hope not i'll reveal the object, if no one guesses it beforehand, at 5pm today ( if i remember that is ) small clue - the object comes in various sizes Did you run over a women? Quote
neo Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Scissor blades? we have a winner :yahoo: ( guess i gave too many easy clues) just hope that some lowlife didn't put it behind my tyre when i parked up as how would it get in the tyre so easily ( £ coin to show size of the scissors) Quote
neo Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Just wondered if they were closed when i drove over them, then opened up inside the tyre ?!?!?!?!?! ( hence the tyre was destroyed) i had just left tescos in mansfield, drove a little bit down the road and noticed the noise from the rear, maybe from their carpark or off the road i will never know. So that's another £150 for a rear tyre. guess i win the prize for strangest object in a 350z tyre Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Sweet baby moses! What an evil thing to do if it was intentional! Glad you didn't find out at speed! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 and they were jammed all the way through the tyre, bloody hell Quote
neo Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 yeah all u could see from the outside were the handle ends, like the picture in my first post. even if the tyre wasnt destroyed the hole may have been too large to repair. Quote
Dblock Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Wow! Glad you got it sorted albeit it costs a lot of money. Quote
