Angry Guess what the Michelin Man had for Lunch ?

Look what I found in my RH Rear Tire....

A small CO2 Cylinder...

Less than 3k miles on it...

I was making a left turn at a stop light , sensor went off in a few seconds and I stopped after that.....

Put it on a flat bed home....


Note: Always have a small phillips to remove your front lip before you put it on a flatbed for towing...


I removed the two Tork and use phillips scres for the two sides on the Lip


Gee-Bee

If I didnt have any Bad luck , I wouldnt have any at All !

That's the damage the cylinder made. GEE-BEE had already pried it out of the tire and set it down on the tire for the picture. If you look in the other two pictures you can see the cylinder is still embedded, and the anomaly you point out is not there.

I have pulled some weird stuff out of tires over the years... needle nose pliers (embedded itself in the wheel) , part of a hack saw blade frame, a bullet (also went into the wheel), nails and screws head first, keys, an allen wrench, a big hunk of rebar (also through the wheel), etc...
