After a fun drive in the 50mph winds, I am almost home and all of a sudden I hear a loud banging coming from the back of the car...

WTF

I was able to plug it without taking it off, at least it hapened on a warm day. Some daylight would have been nice though.

Just like the last time I had to stop in a parking lot to fix the car on the way home, lots of people walked by without saying a word.

Amazing how unconcerned folks can be. Hope you sort it out well in daylight Evan.

Holy crap! What the heck was that thing?

What are you carrying as far as a tire repair kit?

It was a plastic thing with metal running through it, don't know what it came from

I got one of those little kits they sell in the auto parts store that comes with everything: plugs + tools, valve tool, patches, etc. The only thing is I got a set of t-handle tools for the plugs, the strait handle ones are much harder to use, especially when the tire is still on the car.

if you need an air compressor, the one that griots sells is the best that i've seen (and used).

Heading back home and heard a loud bang. Brought it to the tire shop, and a brake pad went through the tire, and through the wheel! The tire held air until I got home fortunately.

Holy crap
