Default Here's what punctured my S-02 PP...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/cwb_drillbit.jpg"></center><p>It's a 2-3/4" long piece of a 1/4" drill bit. It was stuck in my tire, chuck end first all the way flush with the tread. I have NO idea how it got there.

Default Yah know Craig...that looks an awful lot like the shank of a drill bit...

does it have any numbers on it that would suggest it was a drill bit like 3mm or 1/8th or some figures like that...bummer bout the tire anyway, as I'm sure you know they're not terribly safe at high speeds once they've had a puncture. NO manuf will warranty the speed rating of a tire that has been patched...that's why I always pass on the tire damage road service bond they try to sell you at the tire shop...it's a scam if you drive fast and care about speed ratings.
