I can beat that.
Brand spanking new Vredestein Fortezzas, back when they were among the very best clinchers out there. FIRST ride on them. <100 yards from my front door, broken glass on the shoulder that I couldn't see till I was in it. *BANG! FffFfffFffFFffffffffff* 1/4" cut in the casing all the way through.
