    A few years ago, go to get in ute to go to work...flat front tyre..great....matching flat rear tyre...excellent.

    Short on time so two sticky plugs got me going. I did notice that both punchers were pretty much in the same place on both tyres with nothing found stuck in the tyres..

    The old bridge over the creek down the road was an old flat top rail carriage, I stopped in case a bolt or something sticking out.... what I found was a broken flat file that had slipped through the boards and rested on the steel beam below, with just the spike sticking above the boards

    Have a nearly new Maxxis Bighorn in the shed with a 22 bullet hole rite at tread/sidewall join (so they won't fix). I knew it was a 22 bullet rattling around inside before I removed the tyre.....as I put it there. Sick goat..bad shot on my behalf...deflected off skull and straight through tyre

    Driving along at some point I heard a thunk....thunk.....thunk.
    Turns out I drove over a screwdriver. It went in through the tread and out the side without piercing the tyre. Still got the tyre in my shed.

    Several years back i got a flat on the Oodnadatta track between William Creek and Oodnadatta. I expected to find it had been steaked or pinched by one of gibbers, but no. Turned out to have horse shoe nail in it. Probally not that unusual given the location, but all the same, gibbers are more common there than horse shoe nails.

    A 9/10-1/2" half moon sidchrome between the tyre and tube of a 10-00X20, only found when I was replacing the worn out tyre.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Does some thing left in side the tyre between the tube and the tyre count? Got to dargo and the tyre was going flat. Bloke at the general store had a look. A valve had been left in the tyre. Could see the imprint on the tube. Another issue.Tyre did not go down ( one of the benefits of tubes.) Went through a section of swamp that had encroached onto the original track. Was as I found out a fair bit of wood under the water. Spent half a hour digging bits of wood out from around the bead of a couple of tyres.

    At ANDAMOOKA had a drive about town after a fire that we had that had started after a storm. Got a flat, not hugely unusual there checked tyre and found bit of steel hanging out (just)

    On changing tyre off rim the bloke found half a pair of pliers in the tyre (one whole arm!) He added it to a collection of stuff he'd pulled from the tyres over the years.. quite impressive!

    I've had half a screwdriver stuck in a tyre. No idea where or how I would have picked it up, but 10kms from home it started lurching to one side. Pulled in at Beaurepairs, and he pulled the metal shaft and remains of the plastic handle out of the tread.

    $25 later and the hole was plugged and the screwdriver added to his glass jar of oddities.

    a spikey message

    Wasn't my tyre, but I have heard of similar stories.

    In fact I think this is another sham story and made up, just look at the type of flooring used below the held board.
