GL63 P Zero picks up nails

[Gl63]

I've had my GL63 for 5 years and in that time I've had well in excess of 10 punctures from nails including one today.

I have 2 other cars that travel the same routes/go to the same places but get none.

I don't believe someone has it in for me either!

Anyone else with the same issue?

Could a different tyre make a difference? Although would be expensive if had to change all 4.

I doubt it’s the tyres. I have P Zeros and despite my dislike of them for other reasons, random puncturing isn’t an issue (touches wood quickly).
Only thing is tyre pressures? If you’ve lower pressures the nails will get in more easily than if they are highly inflated...the nails are more likely to be deflected than driven over with the sharp edge if you know what I mean?

Tyre width!

If they're wider than lesser cars, they will pick up more punctures.... Just have to live with it, or fill the tyres with Slime or similar.

Yes that's true.itsaleays too near the side to be repaired too.

Puncture before current one was caused by a small stick of hawthorn

I’m willing to bet someone just doesn’t like that you have a GL. Don’t discount the depth jealousy can reach.

Yep could be right. One of the punctures was even a key!

Someone at my old job twirled a key all down the side of my CL a few months back... why?

I didn’t answer what I thought was a rhetorical question, but I answered the answer, is this rhetoric squared?

I don't really "like" this but, I do agree wholeheartedly. It's a damn shame what jealousy drives some folk to do.
