Yes, I agree this can be a very real problem, we had 2 or 3 nails/screws in tires this first years or so after we moved in, lots of construction in the area around our house. Fortunately, none of our cars were all wheel drive, and all of the tires were repairable. Several years ago, I think there was an effort to have a truck with a really big magnet towed behind it go around the construction area to control the amount of nails and screws in the streets.
