Holy crap, that was in the tyre?

I'd get them to check the rim when you replace the tyre, just to make sure there's no damage.

You wouldnt have thought that could get in there.

Those tyres dont seem right to me. It's a large blunt object. Very surprised that punctured a tyre tbh.

The irony is that it was probably used to inflate another tyre first...a bicycle tyre, I'm sure...then just dumped.

Nah, it's not.

It's laughing gas. It's a drug used by a lot of people. These canisters are all over the place.

Lots of water makes its easier for tyres to be punctured. With the amount of water around last night i reckon anything would have got in.

Never heard of that Duke. How does water make a blunt object puncture a steel belted tyre?

Lubrication. We all know going in dry is tough.

I guess a bit of rain will turn a nasty pothole into a harmless looking puddle??
The water washes debris onto the road??

Stats show that punctures in the wet are far more likely.

It's not that blunt. The nozzle isn't that large and it is sharp.
