What the heck happened?
I ran over a screw on the road.One of the things that pushed me from p-metric tires to LT "E" tires, is I got tired of the flats.
So, you’re saying that if I had a more expensive tire, the screw that popped my tire wouldn’t have popped a KO2 or something more expensive?Cheap tires.

LoLPossibly. Most tires are load range E which Might have been tougher
I guess I should have said Load range C vs Load E. 6ply vs 10 ply....... 10ply would have stood a better chance.
Sorry your new tire got a screw in it....
He didn't say where the screw got in the tire. I've had tons of flats from screws and nails and not a single one was ever in the sidewall.
I ran over a screw on the road.
the puncture was in the middle other tread. So instead of being rude and downgrading the tires I purchased maybe just say, “wow, that sucks”, or nothing at all. Regardless of tire, this would have happened to any tire.Most sidewalls are 2-3 ply. C and E refer to the colored layers below.View attachment 2136389
