handy dandy tire popper

glennster · Feb 23, 2011

found a dandy tool for getting real good flats. our s-10 truck with the starting unit lost both tires on the right side, and the napa delivery truck lost two left tires. its the reflector that is epoxied in near the center stripe on the highways. the snow plows pulled them up. they shatter in to pieces and go thru tires real nice. have a car coming in that a lady ran over one of these and it tore a hole in the floor pan of her car.

You need to contact your state highway department immediately.

Saw some local news story about those getting flipped up and going through windshields too.

You know that and I know that,but I think we BOTH know they'll try to wiggle out of it if they can.

We've removed thousands of those Stimsonite markers, and that's the first one I've ever seen that didn't come out in one piece.

I would contact IDOT, assuming you're in Illinois, but how are you gonna prove where it came from? They're used on county roads too.

Good luck.

came right up out of the pavement in front of my shop. can see the hole in the highway where it used to be. its a state highway, not county. good luck trying to get reimbursed from our state.
