Default Another day another nail another 300 dollars!

I don't believe it. Barely a week on from having to replace both front tyres due to a puncture in the outside third I have now got another bolt stuck in the outside third of my rear!

Gutted! Plus I'm the saddo that goes around picking up screws from the roads.

Looking on the bright side it wasn't a new tyre that was holed and I did keep the good front so I should be able to get it swapped out.

Why dont they make puncture proof tyres

I don't know what to say.

Id be raging right about now if that was me.

Sorry to hear it.

Try and avoid any form of gambling in the next few weeks. They say it comes in three's and you don't want to lay down a massive bet on a sure thing (like United winning at home to Blackburn ) only to have it lose.

So you have had two, lets hope your next spell of bad luck to complete the three is minor.

Lucky beggar, the second of my two recent punctures was too near the edge so it was new tyre time.
