I've pulled some crazy things out of tires but so far this one is by far the largest and strangest. Last night wifes indicator light for low tire pressure came on so I checked the tires and found what looked to be part of a sparkplug...I couldn't tell for sure until I finally pulled it out. Took 30 min. to pull it out. It was in the tire up to the chewed up part of what you see in the pick. The dull rounded end of the sparkplug is what went into the tire!!!!

do you still have the pliers? I broke my needle nose last night pulling this thing out...sparkplugs are TOUGH little guys. Broke that and stripped all the teeth on my craftsman visegrips too... I can take these vicegrips to get replaced right? They are useless now and didn't do the job.

I pulled a whole butter knife out of a tire once. It was bent like a boomerang but in tact. I also found one needle end of a pair of needle nose pliers then got the other one a couple hours later.
