WTF is in my tire??
So I got out of my car last night and heard that tell tale hiss. Damn.

I'm not sure that hole can be repaired. I'm sure that left a huge slit in your tire.

Wowza. First week I got my WRX I caught a piece of metal just like that on my rear driver side tire. On the sidewall. On the inside sidewall.

I saved it, and it looks just like that. I always thought it was a drywall clip of some sort myself.

It took until hearing the hiss for you to realize that you had that in your tire?

Let's hope nothing serious goes wrong with your car....

LOL Yes. I just thought it was the bumpy STi suspension.

Seriously, I must have ran it over right as I was parking. Right after I heard it I moved the
car and it was very obvious that something was in the tire.
