Another tire puncture..

Hmm.. if any of you has been catching my ranting thread lately on tire puncture, this is now my 3rd one since the beginning of this summer when I got a new set of 19" Michelin PS2s...

Tonight after a drink with friend, coming from the west using 401 and then DVP, I notice a very loud but periodical tapping noise at the passenger rear tire... Upon closer investigation, I have just got my 3rd puncture but this time by a freaking BOLT... (it is more like a 1/4" OD hex bolt...)

I am sorry for this ranting, but I don't really know what to do at 3:37am in the morning...

Holy smokes, the 3rd puncture this summer on your PS2s . Those things aren't cheap either.
If it's any consolation Godmans, they say bad luck comes in runs of three so hopefully this black cloud will leave you alone now .
Good luck with the fix.

Yea, I think it must have something to do with these stupid constructions that are going on during summer, It real does suck.

Thanks alot guys... for the last 2 punctures, one tire was repairable but the other was toasted.

I literally sat down in the middle of nowhere and started cursing my tires before I started changing it out at 3AM at night on a long weekend.

Thanks again everyone... I guess I can really use another drink lol...

I was thinking maybe I should just swap out my coupe 19"s and snap on my old enkei(s), which now wear some Falken Azenis RT615 on them.

Know how you feel. IN the past month i have had my rear wheel on for a total of 3 days.I cracked my rims 3 times and chewed 1 tire. Thank god for green slime in my tires getting me home all the time instead of at the side of the road.
