Damn that's massive, amazing the point found its way into your tire. Did you make it home or have to change it?

I had to change it right there after it happened. I heard a loud metal clunking noise so i pulled over and as soon as i open the door you could hear the tire hissing air.

Bawlz. Reminds me I need to get a small aluminum jack in case I ever run into this. Or spring for a decent bottle jack.

Didn't mean for that emote to seem so agressive. I rarely get to see my posts with the site always crashing for me. Anyway, that thing is massive. I'd be impressed if you could patch the tire.

I've had my fair share of bad luck the last year with my 6th gen, so I feel your pain. Luckily tires are a lot cheaper than oil pans and engine rebuilds. lol

definitely. I keep an aluminum jack, breaker bar and torque wrench in my car and this was the first time they've really been put to work. Changing the tire was no big deal at all and only took a few minutes

Sorry for the trouble.. This reminds me of my first time I had a tire punctuation, at my friends house playing basketball, sticking out my tongue out like MJ. I was 16, only knowing how to drive a car. When I saw a nail stuck in the tire, my natural instinct was to pull it out, not knowing it's gonna deflate immediately before going home lol.

Finally dropped my accord on f2 type 1s. Took off 3 and a half inches and closed up the wheel gap. Also install new upper control arms
