You'd be surprised what people think you can "Patch" when a tire comes in flat. Guy came in with a Brake pad INSIDE the tire and the hole through the sidewall...Needless to say, he bought a new tire.

How the hell does a brake pad get inside a tire?

Fuck if I know, I asked if he HAD brakes...He was just as shocked as we were. It wasnt off his car though...My guess is it was on the road and he ran over it? But it went through the sidewall so I really have no idea.

We had a bucket of what we found in tires up on the sales desk to "persuade" customers to buy our tire insurance. Anything from the brake pad to huge pieces of metal. There was even a wirebrush from before I worked there...

Probably was kicked up by another car or even his own tires and into the sidewall. I tried to fix a flat my mom had and found a similar thing on the inside sidewall of one of her rear tires. When I took it to a shop to get a new tire, they said it's common for your own front tires to kick up stuff into the rear.
