I received this message from “Telegram”. But it smells of suspicious behavior. Does anyone know if this is legitimate? The @chelpbot seems a bit odd.
Any confirmation would be appreciated. Thank you
Over the past year and a few months, I’ve had some “luck” with the 100 mile per day commute. The best part may be that it’s been a different tire each time. I’ve replaced three after getting a new set of four two years ago.
April ‘25: hit an unavoidable ladder going 73 on an interstate (I-74 west of Indy). No pictures, but gouged the tire enough to warrant a replacement.
July ‘25: TPMS immediately kicked on. Doing about 72 (also I-74 west of Indy).
February ‘26: someone thought it would be a good idea to spread their hex screws all over the interstate west of Indy (I-70 @ Quaker blvd west bound on ramp). All three lanes covered and I only managed to pick up one. I saw no fewer than 15 other vehicles also picking one of these up. Made it to the rest area and changed. Impressed with the seal as it never leaked. Super noisy ride.
June ‘26: yesterday actually… got out of my car after arriving work only to hear the hissing… stabilized and was able to fill it with enough air to drive to a shop to have it plugged. Picked this up somewhere after getting off I-70 and Quaker blvd…
I must say, there are some people in Indiana that just can’t keep their steel off the road…
Ridiculous…
