Look what my wife just found it the nearside rear tire (the nail not the spoon)


There are 3 or 4 properties near our house having extensions built, so it's not too difficult to figure out where it came from.

Unfortunately it has done 'sewing machine' on the sidewall so I have had to buy £230 worth of new tire  ---------------------------

It's Very Black

A friend had a similar nail go in to his horse's hoof a few years ago. Cost him a couple of grand in vet bills and then the poor horse had to be put down as the damage was too great. That was caused by a builder carelessly discarding stuff. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I had the same problem a while ago, not with my tyres i'm relieved to say but my wifes car picked up a couple of screws in each back tyre while a new housing developement was being built just across from our street. I'm sure the builders just empty the trash from their vans on the way home.  2010 RRS, TDV8

In 1999 I bought a new Disco TD5, the first landrover I have owned, rugged, indestructible and far superior to every other car I had owned and a considerable investment £28k a lot of money to me in those days. It just happened to coincide with a move to a new build house on a half built estate, over the next few months I had nails, bolts and screws in my tyres, I still wonder at how these foreign objects force their way into the tyres, you could not hammer them in funny thing is that my wives golf must have floated over them all, not one puncture, go figure  MY 2014 HSE Dynamic
MY 2012 RRS HSE
2009 Audi A6 Avant- superb quality but boring never missed
2007 Q7 -loved it but not a patch on RRS
Various BMW's, Audis
199 TD5 Disco XS, great car big improvement on previous Disco
1981 Fiat Mirafiori Sport 2000 TC - Bright Orange and Black, great Car when new but soon deteriorated, those were the days

It's amazing what can force its way in

We had our roof completely replaced 18months ago, and the roofer has left uncountable tile pins over the roof, most weekends i find at least two or three lying on my drive that have been blown off, ive just seen one in my tyre now, but im not too fussed, as the new overfinch wheels and tyres have not been fitted yet.

why cant Mr builder just simply tidy up after, is it really that time consuming to have a quick sweep up, if i could get up there safely i bloody well would, however i would choose a new tyre over a broken back anyday..
