Continental tires - nail magnets?

[Mike Arman]

I'm running a set of four Continental 16" tires on S4 rims on my V8Q.

Three weeks ago, I picked up a wallboard screw in the left rear - tire 
damaged beyond repair (according to the local Goodyear dealer, who has an 
acceptable reputation), so I got to buy one new tire to match the other three.

Today, I get a part of a nail or a staple or something in the right front - 
we were able to fix the tire, but it is still a PITA.

Am I just having a run of bad luck, or is there something about Continental 
16" tires that attracts nails, screws, glass, and other debris?


Best Regards,
