Ridiculous. Do you own an oil field? If I bought 4 new tires for every time I got a nail in a tire, I'd need a second mortgage on my home. I just did a track day with nails in both of my rear tires. I found the nails when I swapped to my winter tires later that week. Guess what...everything was fine.

If you get a nail, get it patched and stop worrying unless you're Michael Schumacher and planning a 24hr Le Mans with your Z.
