Coming home from work tonight about 11:30 PM and heard a funny thumping sound. I knew I had a flat tire, but luckily was only 2 miles from home. I stopped to get out and check and this is what I found!

The tire has not gone flat, the wrench seems to be just under the tread. Anybody got Ripley's address?

You should get one new tire out of thta at least - maybe all 4.

Sands, I'd be willing to bet you picked up a horseshoe nail, not a homemade one.

What a great advertisement for the tires! Glad you made it home ok!
