| Description of the problem | I have two subarus with bridgestone potenza tires on them. On two separate occasions, i experienced flat tires with them. On both occasions, they went flat so fast, i couldn't even get to the shoulder of the road before i was riding on the rim. I have never had tires go flat so fast. In both cases the cause was a screw in the tread. |
