Continental tires - nail magnets?

[Ahmad Helal]

about the self healing tire...that has happened to me on my 90 audi
100...we were getting ready for a roadtrip and as soon as we got front
right was flat....since I was near a gas station I drove on the flat
and filled it up...continued on the road trip and haven't had a
problem 5000 miles later....a friend thinks that somehow the tire got
pushed off the rim and realsed all the air.....
