 Hey I know that feeling! My 96 F250 had a rash of tire punctures right after 
I installed a new set of BFG A/T T/A's. After the second time I started 
carrying a plug kit in the door pocket. 

 The last one was a 12mm wrench right through the center of the LF tire in a 
parking lot....talk about being pissed!
