Michelin PSS screw magnets
I havent had a flat on any car in over 4 years. I had PSS on my S4 every summer and did not have any issues either. Now I throw on my PSS on 19inch wheels 2 weeks ago and picked up a screw in the rear driver side tire last week and then today another in the front driver side... I patched/plugged the rear one professionally last week. Today I had to plug the tire myself. I pulled away and at speeds between 20-45mph I hear a sound that sounds like that front left tire is still flat. I torqued down the lug bolts correctly. Not sure maybe they are uneven or is it possible that driving on the tire with low pressure deformed the tire and now it needs to be driven on? OR could it be that the plug threw it off balance? (I doubt that but you never know)

I lost a 275/30/19 due to a drywall screw just into the sidewall. Really small hole but I did not want to chance a repair in the sidewall. Tire is sitting in my loft.
