And zero body damage. The wheel was scraped pretty bad on the barrel under the tire but it’s holding air just fine so we believe there’s no wheel damage aside from cosmetic.

Really enjoying this thread. I’s been awhile since I posted (technical difficulties).
Had a very nasty flat tire. First tow truck didn’t have sufficient ramps to load the car. The second truck to arrive had enough boards and blocks to make it work. He was a GREAT guy and understand the situation. Turned out to be a five hour ordeal. Glad I was only 15 minutes from home, and that my husband was able to fetch me, and get some tools to remove the debris from the tire (which was not an easy job).
Got four new tires as a result. Remaining tread was 4/32, and per Porsche you can’t have more than 30% difference on the same axle (4/32 vs 7/32 new) and then we didn’t want poor grip in the front with older, 4/32 tires and new 7/32 “good” grip in the rear. So all four are new!
Yikes - should have bought a lottery ticket - what are the chances of kicking up a heavy piece of debris at just the right angle to slash the tire?

Interesting info about tread depth mismatch. Thanks for sharing.
