How much bad luck can one have!?!?

2 months ago I literally ran over a fork in the road... yes a literal FORK in the road... the 3-pronged kind you might use at dinner! Put a hole in my side wall and had to replace the tire...

last week, SAME side, back tire this time... no clue what I hit, never felt anything, turned out to be a slow leak thank g-d on the tread which they were able to patch...

Tires - out $245 and counting... what's next!?

P.S. anyone know how long those patches last? Life of tire?

 

Yes. The patch should last for the life of the tire. I've had to have a tire patched on my car and my wife's car. I've put about 10K on my patch and my wife put over 20K on hers with no problems or air leakage.
