I don't think that's true. My kumho 712's are hard rubber and I have plenty of plugs in them. It doesn't help that my brother is a roofer and he likes to park his van in my parking space.

I had a set of Daytons ZR rated tires and they were pretty hard (squealed all the time) and I picked up sh*% all the time. The day I decided to replace them I had 3 flat tires in the same day (Bad Day) :damnit:

I ran Firehawks in my 70 Mustang and never picked up any nails/debris. It's just where you're driving.
