Guys at discount were confused as well. Tire flat via brake pad?

Looks like it has a lot of tread left. Must've barely had time to brake it in.

yea,

only 5k on the tire, still have no idea how it ended up on its side (perhaps front tire kicked it up).

Loud pop then a little rattle....Tire went flat very quick...

the other scary part is that someone driving around may be missing a brake pad

hopefully it just fell off of someone's truck bed

I ran over a catalytic convertor once. That sucked

No vehicle damage though, go figure.

nobody really even near me that I could tell. It was at night and i was running to a hockey game.

Actually blew out the back right tire...Im thinking possibly the front one kicked it up, then the back tire caught it?

This is the kinda of crazy shit you'd read on the net, not hear it from one of us...

Just imagine if that shit happened on your bike...

A few years ago, while working at that same DTC I found a huge brake pad (at least 8 inches) inside of a LRE tire, but the tire had not been damaged in any way.

Whoever installed the tire for that customer had put a scrap brake pad inside of his tire.

His wheel was probably tired and wanted a brake.
