Hi all,

I've had my 2001 nissan altima for about 2.5 years with no problems.
But in the past 4 months, I've had 3 flat tires.  I haven't really
changed my driving conditions.

Is there anything anyone can think of that can be causing this besides
just bad luck?
The last job I had done on the car was replacing the brake pads...could
a poor install of these cause tires to go?  Maybe if they were
misaligned or something or the drums were off?

Thanks,

yamin

This happened to my girlfriend a while back.  Turns out, she always parked
in the same place at work and it just so happened there was glass in the
parking space.

The tires become thinner and easy to punture with time.

Ask the guy who repairs the tires what he is finding, It might give a clue.

Very little chance.  Close to none.
