The Curse of a New Tire

Of the 6 tires I'm currently using (3 bikes), 5 will need replacing later this year.
The one new tire just put on got screwed after 200 miles.  Couldn't have happened to any of the 5 old ones?

At least it didn't leak air, so I was able to plug it at home.  It'll be a good test of the plug, as the tire should be good for another 6,000 miles.

Ow!

You could have just shortened the screw and put it back in with some super-glue

Over here in the UK, MB, we’d call that a perfect example of Sod’s Law, aka Murphy’s Law.

BTW I had something similar happen to my Triumph Daytona back in the day. The rear tyre had done <500 miles. Plugged it and ran it to 3,500 miles including three-figure track days having forgotten it was there!  Not a whiff of a problem.
