I bought a brand new car in March of 2008. Within two months one of the tires kept making the low air light go on. I replaced that tire in June of 2008 and the person who fixed it said there was a screw in it. I took the car in to get a second tire fixed today, only to be told I needed new tires that they were of an illegal tread width for my state, so I needed to replace the front two tires or I could not leave. I didn't think they were that bad, because I just got an inspection sticker 4 weeks ago and got an oil change a week ago and the person who changed the oil said the tires were fine. I had only planned on having one tire plugged because I am guessing a screw ended up in it somehow. My car has 28,000 miles on it and was brand new when I bought it. I live in a very commercial area, so I am wondering if there is such a thing as puncture resistant? Or is there something I can do to prevent this from happening again?. I honestly believe I was "taken" today, but I know nothing about tires so could not argue that fact. Anyway, I was just wondering if there is a way to protect my tires? I try to be very careful where I park and not to run over potholes and that type stuff. I do everything in my power to not ever drive over railroad tracks. Thanks for any suggestions.
