What is the weirdest way you flattened a tire..?
i remember 2 months ago i ran over a chicken bone and got a flat :tap:

screw driver and pliers even a crescent wrench

8" long screw about half inch wide.

Does going around a corner fast enough to tip up on 2 wheels and peel the tires off the rims count as a weird way to get a flat or just a stupid way to drive? I did that when I was 19 with my Volkswagen Scirocco... :doh:

counts for me

Thats rolling the tire off the bead cause they were baloons with probably like a 70 sidewall, haha

I don't think i've ever gotten a flat in my life now that I think about it.

Now today after saying that i'm probably going to get a flat. DOH

pssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!

::whats that?


not a turbo...

It was much more talented than that. This was a race car I bought from the driver when he upgraded his ride, had roll bars, racing seats and racing wheels/tires. They were extra wide, I just know I ended up having to replace two due to this and Goodyear had to special order them from the factory, yes the side wall was still higher than todays low profiles by far, but this wasn't on anything near a stock wheel. Don't ask how fast I was going...

i have no weird stories. just your typical nail/screw stuff.

Last year i had to fix my tires about 6 times :doh:

Crazy Ex Gf, her nails cut the tires after I hit her for keying my Chevy back in the day...

yeah no weird stories...i hit a nail about 4 inches long...went into the side of the tire...couldnt fix it

small piece of metal...small meaning like, smaller than a tip of pencil lead.

I ran over a dead body

no weird stories for me either....

but got a 5inch nail in my tire and came out my side wall.....it was diagonal...good thing for rim and tire warrenty

oh and i got 2 flats on one side at the same time when the coppers shot out my tires during a high speed pursuit...

Ran over a group of baby zombies.

Okay i got another flat yesterday...a nail



I ran over a dead body

for real you hit a dead body?


And smashing of the zombie babies^.................AWSOME :bow:

Um, a wooden fence post that fell out of the back of a truck and I ran over it ... I wanted to avoid it but of course it fell perpendicular to the street so oh well...

that sucks....

btw happy b-day

Yeah, I dented two rims and flattened two tires (both front) gag. Oh well. And thanks for my bday wishes! :D

side note: getting a flat from a chicken bone is probably the funniest/most unfortunate thing I have ever heard hahaha!

i guess we now know about the chicken that crossed the road....:lol:

i seen a stubby screwdriver in the sidewall of a van. nothing weird with me. i just got a flat last week :-(

i needed tires more then i thought i guess :-P

Yeah, gotta watch out for those rogue chickens!!!

a guy i know cheated on his girl, and he wound up with a hole from a 2" hole saw in his sidewall.

#1) I have a tail silencer that I take out for shows and display sitting on the ground under the exhaust tip. I forgot about it and went to back up to leave the show, the narrower tube part ended up cutting a gash in the sidewall :(

#2) When I was in college, I was parking at student apartments and ran over the metal cone tip that's on some ballpoint pens. Worse than just puncturing the tire, the cone was hollow and didn't collapse, so it was like sticking a metal drinking straw right in the tire. I could hear the air rushing out and was completely flat in about 10 seconds.

The tire places I've gone to actually keep a can / jar of stuff they've pulled out of tires. Some of it is pretty interesting.

not weird but annoying, Middle of winter in NY, I drop my gf at home, come back to my house and I hear ssssssssssssssssssssss. -.- Had to change my wheel at mid-night in the middle of winter while it was at most 10 degrees outside.

I curbed my car on an incline one time, went back out and apparently when I was parking it i scraped the sidewall and killed it.

Only weird flat I've had was having a rattlesnake strike the sidewall,
and the kid doing the repair got his finger cut by the fang... had to get the medics to give him the anti-venom.. just in case.......!

on my way home from norcal, highway 880, a piece of broken off scissors lodge its way in the left rear tire. my buddy ao cut his figner trying to pull it out. hahah.

:rofl: i know, its unfortunate. But it was a sharp piece :silly:

First one on the left rear was a rather long nail, the second one on the right rear was a new 3 inch long 1/4 inch bolt and the 8 sided washer attached to it painted white used in the construction of steel buildings. It made the darnest clicking noise because the washer kept it from going into the tire enough to wear smooth. It actually broke some of the very fine steel cords inside the tire. Needless to say I don't rotate the tires since both rears have patches on them.

LOL.! That's pretty ranDom..

nothing to special here either. the typical 5" long screw or nail that comes in the bottom and goes out to the sidewall.

Woke up one morning and every tire on the entire block was flat.

:shock:

WTF!

I just hope you learned your lesson and stopped listening to the Chick-fil-A adverts! :rofl: Wait, they don't have anything with bones in it ... well whatever! Maybe God is telling you that chicken in all forms is NOT your friend! :P

i got a flat(s) awhile back from an ex gf. slashed all 4 tires. :)

I remember when i had my flat....

no I don't.

i got a flat(s) awhile back from an ex gf. slashed all 4 tires. :)

i would have :gun:

and she told me she was pregnant. i was like.. praternity test, where's maury at?

Two weird flats:

Left a movie theatre at 2am and as I left the lot, felt the tire go flat. Got out the flash light and got ready to put the spare on, when I noticed what was sticking OUT of my tire - one of those minature wrenches - the kind you get in souviner packages from Vegas. Right next to a trailer park, so that MIGHT explain it.

The other was a brick left in a pot hole *just* outside a curb. I didn't see it as I was leaving a gas station driveway. That one sucked because I ripped some back muscles getting the spare out of the trunk (I'm a small girl and that was a fairly unwieldly trunk), and had to be in rehab and on painkillers for 3 months.
