I'm not sure where nor how, but I must have run over some nails with my summer tires last December. I noticed it while swapping them out for my winter setup. I was so mad that I bagged them immediately and put them in storage. After a few months, and with the weather warming, I finally checked them out and found the following:
1 tire is fine - a few nicks on the meat of the tread, but no punctures.
2 tires have one puncture each, in the meat of the tread, but still hold air. I can't tell how deep the puntures are, just that there is a puncture in the meat of the tread.
1 tire has two nails still in it, ~120 degrees apart, in the meat of the tread. It is flat.
All tire damage is in the meat of the tread, not in the channel or sidewall. I called my local tire shop and they quoted
The tires in question are Dunlop SP600 summer tires, with maybe 75% tread left.
