Coming back to topic, last December we were driving back from Florida and as we got onto I-79 from Hwy 19 in West Virginia we started getting ridiculous road noise - OK sometimes the road surface and winter tires react, but didn't go away. Probably took a month - checked bearings, alignment, etc etc before mechanic found the bolt in the tire. Still not sure how he missed it as he is very thorough - but it was big enough to make that much noise and we probably put near 1000 miles on the car with no air pressure loss. Still seems odd.

Nope. A machine screw with a shoulder and Allen head. Looks like one from a piece of furniture like Ikea stuff.

I had a flat tire last week while biking on a trail. Was about 11 miles from my car. I carry a spare tube and a pump so all was good.
JP- I just pitch them over the plate and you hit them out

never actually saw the damage - but it didn't wreck the tire. (Snow tire so thicker and harder) It did make a click but it was odd. Also one of those times where (I think) the owner didn't listen as well as he should have - assuming he knew - which is actually most unlike him.
