Neighbour has been renovating his house for a while now and I think he just now finished. He hired somebody to pressure wash his property of all debris and ended up putting all sorts of stuff onto the road including screws. I drove on the street and ended up damaging tires on my brand new Corvette and Escalade V. I have a PDR recording of someone washing the driveway when I was returning home in the Corvette last night. I drove very slow to be cautious and remember yelling the F word because of all the s**t I was driving on. I didn’t think anything of it. Next morning, leaving for work in the Escalade and heard a pop. Pulled to the side, and discovered a large metal object imbedded in the tire. Quickly inspected the Corvette and saw a large nail sticking out of the rear tire. All tires also had all sorts of debris on them and need to get them looked at further. The roads here are still very clean and all of the s**t stuck to my tires are from the house renovations. I took pictures and showed two tire shops who recommended replacing both especially given the performance of both vehicles. Nobody has them in stock and I am currently down two vehicles.
The house in question did acknowledge the debris and cleaned up the road. I saw them use a metal detector as well.
I don’t feel safe driving either right now and risk damaging them further.
What’s the best course of action at this point? Do tires need to be replaced in pairs? I’m thinking about having both towed to GM which is 5 minutes away and having them inspect all 8 tires and the other party can foot the bill.
