Indeed. I wasn't commenting on the difficulty, but just the inconvenience of stopping to fix a flat. I've done it dozens of times over the past 40+ years, but am still glad that it occurs less frequently now.

I have these tires which I'm sure offer serious puncture protection, but with what I was unfortunate to run over, how much more serious puncture resistant tires do I need to prevent such an occurrence happening again? When I pulled out the nail from the tire, it was as straight as a tack as were the other 3 nails.
Definitely a good point, and I forgot what you had run over by the time I commented. I still carry the means to fix a flat, so I only expect the puncture resistant tires to reduce the rate of having to fix flats.
