I have new Firestone tires. They are less than a year old. I have had nail/punctures twice this year.in the same, left front tire. Are the tires too soft and pick up nails that a better tires would not? At what point, with nail/punctures, should I get a new, rather than a plugged (now twice) tire?I did buy the supplemental road hazzard, that includes the plugging.
I had a motorcycle with aftermarket exhaust that was jet coated. Easy to keep clean and moves more heat out of the exhaust.
Not the tires fault. You just keep running over stuff. Same thing would have happened no matter what tires you had on the vehicle.
Tire type don't matter when you run over screws and nails they will go right through any tire, compound does not matter. As long as the patch/patches is/are out in the tread and not in or near the sidewall and it is holding air you are good to go no worries. I have had the same bum luck before too, try getting a nail in a motorcycle tire, been there and you should replace a bike tire if that happens and I did bye bye 250 bucks. Thats one expensive nail. I have also had vehicle tires punctured too some patch-able some not. The ones that have been patched never gave me problems, and it only costs about 10 bucks to get fixed rather than 100 for a new tire, I would rather spend 10 don't you? They are safe and you have no worries.
Hot flash -- they were not accidental. Someone is placing an nail on the front left tire, the side on the street side so you cannot watch from the house, so when you start up the nail is driven into the tire.
