after a 400 mile road trip in 100 degree heat I decided to have my car tire (pic above) looked at. think I got lucky. they said I was good to go. bought the tires in April. front & rear are down to 8/32nds on the flat part of the tires. the screw measures 11/32nds. looks like the tip grabbed some compound within the tire somewhere. I'll be keeping an eye on the tire's pressure ...
