3 months on a nail?
Hey, so ... how weird is this, I've apparently been driving for 3 months or more with a nail in my tire, a big one. How the hell does that happen?
I noticed a while back a clicking in my front wheel, so I checked it, more than a few times, for rocks etc.. I drove 6 hours at approx 125 kph (78 mph fer ye Yankees), can you imagine if the front tire blew at that speed? Yeah, nasty business.
What's even more bizarre is I didn't even have a slow leak, and it's a cheapass economy tire.

I, on the other hand, get decent tires and seem to find the nails right away and you can bet they come with a slow leak. Curse you Tire Nail Gnomes!

Well, must've been a high quality nail then eh?
