I drive a pickup truck and I go to pickup truck kind of places with it like lumber yards, industrial suppliers, landfills and other high FOD locations. I get more flat tires because I drive where the nails are.

My sedan goes to the grocery store and a few restaurants and has never had a flat.

So the guy you’re responding to most likely doesn’t drive through lumber and construction sites all day. Most people don’t. That’s why most people don’t have 20 flats a week from driving around in nails.

You ever think maybe you’re an exception because of your habits that most people don’t have?

Hence why I said "my sedan that [pretty much stays on normal roads] has never had a flat."

Then why are you surprised the person you’re responding to hasn’t had a flat?

I don't believe you've never had a flat in 20 years.

Oh ok. 👍
