But yeah, I think that had the bolt not gone in completely straight, it could have shredded the tyre, and that certainly wouldn't have been nice to deal with. Fairly lucky really.</p><p>I've tried to find out today who is responsible for sweeping the local roads, to see how often they are swept (the road I picked the bolt up on is one of the main routes on the way to the local dump for a lot of the local area, so should be swept more regularly than most). I was told that no-one has a responsibility for sweeping the road itself, only the gutter/verge. I was also told that this is "where most of the stuff in the road ends up anyway" - except for the bolt that ended up in my tyre of course!</p>edraperMon, 17 Mar 2008 17:22:25 -0000http://crazycool.co.uk/blog/2008/3/15/Tyred#comment-235887<p>My wife and I work for a RV manufacturer. We pick up screws and bolts on a daily basis. The local tire place knows us by name as a matter of fact and often times doesn't charge us for small repairs. I feel your pain as I have two tires on my SUV right now. One had a 3" self tapping screw in it and the other had two of the same screws. It's good though that it didn't completely blow and make the car uncontrollable.</p>Mitchell BlankenshipMon, 17 Mar 2008 05:06:50 -0000
