    Picked up my Tacoma about a month ago- so far I have put about 2,200 miles on her. Digging the truck all around but this happened this weekend and has me a little puzzled with the tire quality on this truck:
    I drove over a stick on a paved county road going about 40mph. The entire stick when into my tire and it deflated in a half second.

    14 years on the road and I have never seen this happen to a tire. The guys at the shop were pretty blown away too.

    I think a set of Michelins are coming soon...

    The stick doesn't care if you have 10 or 100,000 miles on the truck. It was just an unlucky puncture.

    Honestly I had no issues with mine. Just sold them for $100
    I just wanted a more aggressive tire for offroad.

    And you think that a stick cannot penetrate a Michelin Tire?
