Seems totally possible and nearly impossible to track or prove.

    No, this is a dumb idea.

    Tires are really tough - I mean really tough these days.

    The difference from even the 80’s/90’s to now is staggering.

    I used to get flats once or twice a year, now… I don’t remember the last time I put a plug in a tire.

    Imagine the effort to do this, and then assuming your company would benefit.

        Basically zero effort, except we need to get a bunch of low paid employees in on this conspiracy and send them out to throw shit on the roads and count on them to never get disgruntled and tell anyone or tell their spouses who might tell a family member who might tell a friend who might post about it on social media after they get a flat tire.

        Find a different conspiracy, this one’s shit.

            You think the CEO is doing it? If he isn’t than an employee of the business is doing it. The “company” isn’t some monster that works on its own, it needs employees to carry out its work.

              There are independent shops and some are franchises. Either way, I understand all this is to say that your answer to the question in this post is “no”. Thanks!
