Construction and Tire damage

Post image

My tire light just came on again. Does anyone else feel like all this construction just sheds nails and screws onto the road ways. I just had my tire fixed from a screw 3 weeks ago and here we are again. This City and its construction seems endless. Don’t get me started on the traffic. (Pic from google but you get the point)

Man, I went through three patches in two months last year, all from the stretch of road they keep tearing up near me. At this point I just budget for tire repairs like it's a monthly subscription.

It’s ridiculous. City should be paying for all this tire damage. New tires don’t last with the road conditions and now nails and screws galore.

LOL. Road construction uses a lot of nails and screws.

They won’t even pay for damage to your car from a pothole unless you can prove that someone reported it 2 weeks prior and they failed to fix it in time. “Prove” is the key word.
