Tire damage...what type of nail?

[BSEagle1]

So, let's pretend for a moment that my thieving bastard neighbour, on his way to his bastard machine shop in his thieving bastard truck, were to run over a nail. You know, just a theoretical thing. And the nail sinks in there perfectly.

What sort of nail do you think it would need to be to provide moderately fast, but not instantaneous, deflation of the tire? I'm thinking -assuming it somehow happened- that a fencing nail would be best...a good long one. But would that be too long to be popped back out by the tire pressure, allowing deflation?

And while we're at it, what other sort of inconspicuous things might my neighbour run over to deflate his tires?
Just trying to spur some intellectual discussion.

what are you implying?

BAN.
Oh yeah, roofing nails.

At best...nails create slow leaks in modern tires...the inside material of tires is designed to act like an "O-ring" in event of a puncture. He could probably drive on it for days or even weeks.

So...you should probably just grow up or call him out like a man and just duke it out in your front yard.

That he might...you know, run over a nail. Happens all the time right?

Not that I would mind, considering how much trouble/damage he causes...especially for someone who's supposed to be a grown man.

I think he's implying that he wants to deliberately vandalize his neighbor's tires.

Throw a grenade in the passenger window. That should take care of it.

If I could, I would. Sadly the entire neighbourhood has some kind of vendetta against us (I think they interpreted our fence as a big 'Fvck You' when we put it up), and there would be all manner of trouble then.

Just let the air out yourself, you pussy.

Failing that, you need four-pointed steel spikes (so that one spike always remains upright) with the three-pointed star arrangement on each tip (so that the natural sealing of the tire will have minimal effect)

That, or hollowed spikes.

I don't think an action like putting a nail through your neighbor's tire will further endear you to your neighbors. And considerig the situation I'd be more concerned about your own tires.

why cant u just take a ****** on his doorstep like everyone else?

 

[DVK916]

If his tires blow while on the freeway and there is an accident. You could be faceing some serious jail time if they find out.

Yep, since I do work around construction sites, at any given moment I may have a nail in every tire.

You just wait until the leaking becomes such a hassle that you go get the tire fixed.

Mods must not be online right now.

 

[FoBoT]

those nails with the ripples on them, like a concrete nail , that would create a little channel for the air back up to the nail head

but you can't do that

 

[mwtgg]

Throw a brick at his truck.

know what they say... when you think the world is out to get you and you are the only sane/intelligent one.. look at your own self.

 

[mugs]

a nail puncture is only going to cost him < $10 to get fixed

Maybe they can just see already that you're the kind of fvckwad who would vandalize another person's property? Just providing an alternate hypothesis for why the neighborhood isn't thrilled with you...

Or just go all out and set up a spike strip.

FTW....Leash + roadkilled small dog
Put the leash on the road kill
Balance the roadkill on the back axle of the truck
Attach the leash to the bumper in a way that he won't notice in the morning
When he hits a bump the carcass will drop down
Follow him and watch people try to run him off the road and get pulled over by police!

Banana in the tailpipe.

 

[AmdEmAll]
