Saw the end of a plastic handled screw driver embeded in a truck tire once. It looked like it went straight in.
The foam filled front tires that came on my MF had a two or large nailes in them. I suspect someone drove them in there to demonstrate that the goo inside worked.

I once removed a peice of bone from inside a tire. It was about 3" long and 5/16"diameter ,must have been racoon/skunk? Just suprised it didn't just splinter ,but it penetrated intact.

i pulled a 6 inch long surveyers plumb bob out of my dump truck tire once. Needless to say a plug didnt fix it.

A chunk of a flint rock. about 1.5 inches long and razor sharp. A Dozer was driving over the roadway on a construction project and left some shards of rock on the roadway, I ran over one, and the tire was flat in seconds. Went right thru the tread like a knife.

Pulled the whole shank of a rusty screwdriver out of my tire 2 years ago. It punctured the tire and actually dimpled the rim and put a hole in it. JB weld fixed the rim, but I had to get a new tire .

My wife took her toyota to the dealer saying the tire had a slow leak. They called said everything was fine come pick it up. She drove home on the freeway, next day flat again. Took it to a tire dealer they pulled out an 6" spike. You can bet I went to the dealer and gave the manager a tongue lashing. How dare they not find that spike and let my wife drive home on the freeway.

A spoon...
No lie - went through the sidewall and ruined the tire...

a craftsman box end 1/2-9/16" wrench that went through the tread on the side and didn't make the tire flat, just made a strange thump that we had difficulty trying to identify. Hard way to get a collection of wrenches!!
