Keep Getting Punctures When I Drive Up To Yard...

[Mithras]

What would you do? I don't want to move yards, but its costing me a fortune. 5 punctures in 6 months, including 2 in the last fortnight. There is nowhere else I go likely to be causing them, unless someone is driving round to my own rural home at night with their own nails and screws and puncturing the two cars I use but ignoring my boyfriend's! YO's own car has had 1 puncture in the same time frame. The two most recent tyres punctured were brand new and the punctures in such a place that the tyres couldn't be replaced.

I had a similar problem a few months ago, it seemed I couldn't go out to the car without pumping the tyre up yet again. I noticed that there was a lot of building work going on around my house, and being Cotswold and quaint this meant that everybody had skips out at the roadside. I'm guessing that I was probably running over nails and screws that had fallen from these.

Do you drive over gravel. If they have put the cheaper 'crushed' gravel then this will happen. The pea (I think its called) gravel is more expensive - but works out cheaper in the long run!
