I pull a lotta shit out of tires.  Once I got a spark plug (porcelain end first), another time a nail clipper, a sharp rock, a crucifix, you name it, I got it out of a tire.  I once took the fork end of a tire plug tool (had to dismount it) that musta fell in when the guy who was plugging the tire's tool broke (I heard it rolling around inside the tire when I took the wheel off) and he was too lazy to dismount it.  Fuck I know how somebody balanced that wheel.
So last week, I got one I never had before.  Half-inch plywood:
