When did you last have a flat on your car?

I'm not sure that I ever had a puncture...

Maybe in 1981, but even then the screw I found in my
left rear wheel Fulda (tire brand) might have been planted
by a envious Toyota driving neighbour.

Latest was several months or so ago on the right rear of my PS2's. I frequently find some foreign object in my tires.

I had one once with a car from another maker. But I always fear one...

I had the first pucture I've had in at least 10 years about a week ago. BMW sent me to Discount Tire who fixed the tire (Runflat) for free! I didn't expect that, especially as the RF's are a bear to take off the wheel, and of course I didn't purchase the tire there.

I had my RF's replaced because of road noise months ago and I have had ALL 4 tires replaced again due to nails or screws in them. Fortunately I purchased tire insurance when I signed the lease for $8 per month. BEST money ever spent as the dealer has just put $1600 of tires in 3 weeks for free. I felt really bad on the last one and I asked them if they could fix it. They said no, and replaced it at no charge. No more RF's for me ever without insurance...
