Darn screw in tire.

It’s time to go.

Was I a good tire?

No.

You're down to the wear bars, that tire should be gone irrespective of the screw.

That screw has nearly as many miles on it as the tire!

I'm sure that the screw will outlast the tire!

I usually get those when the tires are new. At least the most recent one was repairable.
