I know they are some sort of nail, but I had one in my tire and at the store found a near identical one and now I’m beginning to think my tire guy is playing shell games. I mean, what are the odds?

    Looks to me like a self tapping screw which had its head broken off / worn down. You probably just picked them both up from the same spot, double check your driveway / lot

      My vote is self-tapping sheet metal screw that had the end cut off because it was sticking too far into whatever it was screwed into.

      Only the part of the screw that touches the two (or more) pieces of sheet metal actual does anything.

      Person should have used a rivet.
