Going to plug a tire this weekend. Driving around with a screw right now...
... but its not leaking.

The tires that came on our new 2024 Sequoia have been screw magnets. Bridgestone Dueler H/T 685. We've had like 7-8 screws in the last 9-10 months on this vehicle. I'm tempted to just replace the tires, but they only have 9,000 miles on them.

Discount tire always fixes them for free even though they are the stock tires. However, this one has already been plugged twice by them. They said they can't do another plug on that tire. So I'm going to plug it myself.

In the household we have a truck (with A/T E rates tires), and older SUV (A/T tires, but not E rated), and a sedan (all season tires) driving around in the same driveway/same neighborhood, and none of them have picked up anything.

I honestly have wondered whether "someone is screwing with us".
