I was just cruizin' along and heard a little thump...but paid no attention to it. I drove about 2 more miles to a restaurant and when I got out, heard the slow leaking of air! Doh!
( sorry to hear about that. These 17" tires ain't cheap!

i pulled the metal piece of a seatbelt buckle out of a tire one time. left a thin gash about 3" long in the tire, and ended up inside.

That looks like a huge claw from a "valasso-raptor (sp?)"

Haha.... I was just going to say that but you beat me to it.
Looks like a velociraptor attacked your tire.

Actually, I told them the truth about what car it was gonna go onto. The guy asked me if it would fit and I said 'oh yeah, lot's of people do it on acura-cl.com w/o any problems whatsoever.' He then proceeded to sell me the tires. I guess I got lucky. Costco also put in an order for me...but they were backordered too long so I ordered from Tirerack.com
