In the 35 years I’ve been driving I’ve gotten a total of four punctures that I can remember.

Two of them have happened in the last month on my Lightning. One in drivers front about 3 weeks ago and today in the drivers rear tire! Both in the center of the thread.

Are the tires from the factory made from a softer compound???

Truck only has 3,000 miles on it!!!

I think I’ll be changing out these tires pretty soon!!
I had 2 in 6,000 miles - one a total blowout from road debris and 2nd as a slow leak nail - Les Schwab Tire Centers fixed both for free & even came to me to patch on the 1st one - A+ for them.

odd, I had a random low tire warning at 9k that turned out to be a puncture that I got plugged at Discount. thought it was weird as there was no debris found. This thread is a bit validating, but It only about 10 of us, not really a significant number.
