Had to update to share this. I ran on the spare for a week or so until I had a chance to visit the tire shop to have them fix the flat or replace it with the good used Wrangler SR-A I mail ordered.

I couldn't believe my eyes when the mechanic showed me what he retrieved from inside my blowout. A hitch pin! The tire wasn't repairable. I'm glad this thing didn't bash my TPMS sensor to bits. LOL

Did somebody snatch your insert and prop the pin against your tire??? Effin ******... Or did you really run over it and become the lucky 957,000,000:1 odds of that ever happening winner?

About all i got is "hey a free hitch pin",lol. I was at a tire shop years ago when they pulled a 3" long 3/8" carriage head bolt out of a rear tire once. The velocity of the bolt or your hitch pin must be alot more then a guy thinks when a front tire picks it up and throws it at a rear tire

If something gets picked up and thrown through your tire is one thing. There was some scrap metal blanks on a freeway offramp that took out a rear tire on my work vehicle and the guy behind me lost a front wheel and windshield to them. There was a bunch of these metal piece all over the service drive.
