Some how tires are magnetic?last year I had to plug 2 new tires with I week of haveing them installed,I had just put on a Diablo Rosso corsa on Thursday June 28 I went to go to no frills this morning and low and behold the power of magnet rubber a drywall screw! And another flat tire.sweep off you're trailers before driveing on the roads!well I'm off to crapy tire for another plug kit.have fun and ride safe.
 
I believe they use the same magnetic coating used for windshield manufacturing in the automotive industry.
They buy it in bulk.
 
Toronto is generally not bad, but when I lived in London UK, I would puncture 3 tires per year on average. Not only were there screws every damn place, but when filtering or riding in the gutters or in those awkward parts of the road where debris build up....well that increases your chances greatly.

I now have developed eagle eyes. On top of that, if I am just walking along and see a screw I remove it. But in general Toronto isn't as bad, you just got some rotten luck it seems.

I had my share too by the way, puncturing a tire 2 weeks after buying a new bike, or on THREE occasions, having my bike knocked over within a week of buying it new!!!! Trust me, you don't want those magnetic fairings that attract parking cars!

I saw the Crapy Tire tire installers buying drywall nails in bags, wonder what they were doing with them?
