Good thing it was my front wheel so that I could control myself to safety.

I was wondering, do you guys think this piece of iron nail could puncture anything in the market today? I doubt there are any. It's sad that I never got to fully assess this tire that I bought for $70 and it only had about 250 miles in under a month. Perhaps the sharp nail was sheer bad luck.
