Recon This Would Cause A Vibration???

[Wayne Maybury]

This tire would almost certainly have been on a rear wheel. What happens is that the front tire runs over some object and throws it up off of the pavement. The rear tire comes along a split-second later just as the object is landing but has not had time to settle down. Bang, it penetrates the rear tire.

When I was a kid, I worked in a tire shop. A man came in with a shock absorber piston shaft that went in through the tread and out through the sidewall. The tire was still inflated, no leak at all. He wanted a warranty on his 'defective tire."

Dan,

A few years ago I was down at my buddie's garage when woman drove in with a brand new Cadillac. I think it had about 400 miles on it. She had driven off the pavement and turned hard to get back on and some gravel got between the bead and rim of the tire and of course it went flat. Jack took the tire of and cleaned it out and was going to put it back on and she would have none of that. She demanded a brand new tire as that one was flat. So Jack sold her a brand new tire and put that one in its place as it still had the little rubber strings that used to stick out on new tires on it. None of us could convince her that the tire was ok as she was sure once they went flat they could never hold air again.
