got an interesting one here - as my lady has had a couple of flat tyres in the space of a few weeks... bot thimes they had items stuck in the tyre, the first time was possibly (I say possibly - as we never removed it as we were going to get the tyre repaired and leaving in it would make locating the hole quicker) a long shard of plastic / metal with a plastic head of around 1cm wide...
while the other one was a screw with a narrow head (just a bit wider than the screw itself) - both were fully lodged into the tyre...
is this common - or rather is it possible for a screw to get fully lodged into a tyre whilst driving along?
just my lady has to park in front of the neighbours house and it all seems a bit fishy to me... they were both in the main tread of the tyre and not the side...
