Default Cut Tire...weaksauce!

Right when I turn into the access road to my work parking lot I heard my tire pop!

I went and checked the area later and it looked like a truck dropped pieces of trailer siding and other shit.

Ouch... any chance you know the company that dropped the stuff? You could probably get them to pay for the new tire since they'd rather not have you file a claim w/ their insurance over them dropping their loads on the road.

I asked the Gate Guard and he said 4 different companies went through at least this morning.

They don't have a camera pointed that way, but he said he can look at the tape and see if there are any shitty looking trucks with the camera they do have.

I'm not really hopeful.

There's probably a really, really good one-liner there... but I'm afraid to go to the place where you would find it.

Bummer. One of the used tire places might hve a match, or get a new one and shave as necessary.
