“I can’t remember the cost now.”

Pretty much everyone gets embarrassed from time to time. More often than not, it’s something you can laugh off and hope to never, ever relive. But sometimes, the humiliation is so intense that you might opt to avoid the people or location for the rest of your life if possible.

One woman believes she can never show her face again in the tire shop after what happened to her there.

In a TikTok with over 471,300 views as of this writing, Cam Lumley (@camlumleyy) shows what her tire looks like after running over multiple nails. There are several roofing nails penetrating the tire. To be precise, there were 37 nails puncturing three of her tires.

“Remember that one time I got 37 nails in my tires and I could never show my face in the tire store again,” the onscreen text reads.

Lumley told Motor1, “They were in the middle of the intersection like a full box had just spilled or something. I was already in the middle of the intersection before I realized what it was and there were cars on both sides. I had nowhere else to go. I ended up getting three new tires and I can’t remember the cost now, not including the tow to the tire store, and the shame lol.”

Luckily for Lumley, she was able to get off the road safely despite having three dozen nails in her tires.

Now she (jokingly) believes she can never show her face in the tire shop again.

What Should You Do If There’s A Nail Stuck In Your Tire?

Getting a flat tire often throws your entire day off balance. You might find yourself changing it on the side of the road or, in the worst case scenario, getting your car towed home or to a shop.

Getting a nail in your tire can happen anytime you drive—even on a test drive. Depending on the severity of the puncture, you may be able to drive in the short-term, but you will need to get a fix sooner rather than later. If the tire is steadily losing pressure, however, you should address it immediately, as ignoring it can cause more damage or lead to a blowout.

Less severe tire punctures can often be repaired with a patch or plug. A patch fixes and bonds the inside of the tire puncture that creates a barrier that prevents air from escaping. A tire plug is inserted from the outside into the tire puncture and the plug expands to fill the hole. The most secure option for fixing the tire is using a combination of the two. Having both a patch and plug installed helps keep the tires structural integrity.

More severe damage, like Lumley’s, requires an all-new tire or tires.

Continental reports that any punctures on the sidewall or outside the tread area will require a tire replacement. Any puncture greater than or equal to 6 mm in diameter is also irreparable. A puncture plus a tire that’s worn, cracked, or deteriorated also requires a swap rather than a repair.

According to AAA, drivers should budget for $200 per tire on average for new tires—though the price can vary widely. For front- or rear-wheel drive vehicles, it’s recommended to replace two at a time at a minimum; all four for all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles.

“Did You Just Take Your Car Down The Aisle At Home Depot?”

People were pretty stunned by the absurd amount of roofing nails in Lumley’s tires.

“This is so much worse than me hitting spike strips one time,” one person said.

Another joked, “Did you just take your car down the aisle at Home Depot orr?”

One person blamed whoever dropped all the roofing nails in the road. “I want to fight a roofing crew on your behalf. This is lazy work on their part,” they wrote. (If she could find the company responsible and prove that it was them, Lumley technically could have likely gotten it to pay for the new tires.)

Some people shared similar experiences.

“I got a roofing nail in my tire, couldn’t find it for the longest and just kept adding air because I’ll be damned if I buy a new tire right now,” one person said.

Said another, “I had ONE of those in my tire once, it sounded like there was a tiny tap dancer under my car when I drove. I can only imagine what all of these sounded like.”
