I just freak out when I see a nail in my tire. This picture shows the nail I found today. The reason I get so very concerned is because years ago unbeknownst to me there was a nail in one of my tires. I heard something tapping on the concrete as I drove across town but had no idea what the noise was. On the way home later that day in rush hour traffic driving about 65 mph, I had a blow out. It's a wonder I didn't have a horrible wreck. Yes...God was definitely watching over me. I was able to pull over to the shoulder and call a friend to come help. Once I got to the tire store they showed me the tire and the nail had damaged the radials in my tire - thus the blowout. Since that time I am so very cautious when I see nails. Also, several years after that I head the same tapping and was able to locate another nail in my tire.Fortunately this nail was not very long - maybe 1/4" and I have very good tread on these tires. So, once again God was watching over me.
