Mike Lewis, owner of Firestone of Durango, has collected some strange objects that have caused flats over the 39 years he’s been in business. Railroad spikes, giant nails, random bolts and pieces of metal are the “extreme” examples that have caused flats, and he likes to keep a small collection. The majority of flats, however, are caused by more simple objects like bits of glass, screws and cuts from rocks, he said.
