Well I backed my truck into a spot at work this morning and gave her a wipe down with a quick detail spray. Got around towards the front passenger side and notice that I have a screw in my tire. Don't know how it got there, but things happen. I got someone to bring me a tire patch kit since all the tire places are closed today.


I pop out the screw and it's a good 3/4" long, but I noticed something...it didn't pierce the tire! It went through the thick part of the tread but wasn't long enough to go all the way in. I think I know what tire I'm sticking with from now on.










Still standing

 

You got lucky brother!

 

Toyo's are the best ! And yes you were Lucky .

 

good to hear! those tires are a little pricey so they better with stand it. haha. nice truck btw

 

Nice discovery!

 

Heh yes you did get lucky sir! Live to fight another day

 

you wouldn't say that if you ran them up here in the winter

 

Yeah I was extremely lucky. Between the treads and I'm sure it would have punctured. Haven't had 'em long so I'd have been disappointed to see a hole in them.


I know, right? Crazy that I just happened to look there of all places.


I couldn't imagine driving up there all the time. We had several inches of snow not too long ago (which is a lot for us) and it was a blast to drive in. Was really funny seeing all the cars getting stuck. Us southern folk aren't used to the snow. The Toyos handled it like a champ.

 

A tire with that hard of compound, add the cold temps were get up here, those tires are so slick. i buddy has them on his truck and in the winter he is constantly in 4x4 just on the road.
