LOL wow. That's impressive. This is why I go and check my tyres every morning before I leave for work. You never know, you might find something like a crowbar lodged into your sidewall on the passenger side and be driving it around.

Really sucks man.

I ran over some weird piece of plastic with a metal protrusion a few months back. I swear it was a caltrop, the only possible use it could have is puncturing tyres.

Only if not repairable but.. Still puncture repair otherwise is $40 at most and if not repairable then atleast it's not going to cost you a cent

Hard to tell from pic but if sidewall damaged, tyre rooted..

Only tread can be repaired,

sidewall = immediate scrap (illegal to repair - safety reasons)...
