>Why don’t all four tires on a car blow out at the same time?


They do if you drive over a stinger (or perhaps a sufficiently large number of nails or other sharp objects).


They also do if you go around the car with a knife and you stab them.

But it is somehow implied that the context of the comment is normal driving conditions.

Perhaps that comment could be reworded like:

>When driving on a highway, while not being pursued by the police, on planet Earth, with a road temperature below 200C, and not driving behind a van transporting nails with an open door that's dropping them on the road, why don’t all four tires on a car blow out at the same time?

That way people could get a better sense of what it is about.


The kid would have to have a pretty large glass milk bottle hidden under his coat for that to happen.
