pulled metal shards out of my tire and ...



those are the shards... still in the tire. they actually look like two prongs from a fork. i pulled them out two nights ago, i was pissed. my tire seems to be holding air just fine ... even after complete stress testing

Ouch! How long were the shards?

You probably ran over some construction debris. Your lucky that your not losing air.
