I live very close to New York City (not by choice but I am somewhat stuck here for the next five years). I have read about these Tyre Extinguishers group of eco terrorist deflating SUV tires in major cities around the world. It seems that they have moved from deflating the tires to even slashing some of the tires. I highly doubt that the cop will do anything about this matter.

I understand that I can always use a portable air pump to temporary deal with the deflated tires - but I would not know what to do if my tires are slashed.

Honest question here - aside from NOT driving in New York City (which I don't if I can help it), do you have any suggestions on steps that I can take to proactively protect my Jeep tires from being slashed (or something that I can use to temporary deal with the slashed tires until I can drive it to a location to get it fixed.) I know this might be a stupid thought/questions - but are there any equipment out there (aside from car alarm) that can somewhat deter tire slashing.

Thanks!

Why even worry about such a thing? A car alarm will do nothing, it cant detect a blade or ice pick entering a tire.

Maybe an NRA sticker, or flamethrower

A Doberman or Pit Bull perhaps...

Maybe some Greenpeace or similar enviro activist decals would help. Whether you agree with their politics or not.

At least in Philadelphia when someone slashes tires they don't care what kind of car it is, they just go down the street and hit them all. Issues like this have been around a long time.

Park in an attended lot or garage? Take an Uber into the city? Park in a bad area where they will steal your tires and wheels instead of slashing the tires?

Surround your vehicle with bear traps when parking it?

Find a rock and crawl under it.

A big hungry dog tied to the bumper. Let the dog eat until the perp gets quiet.

Magnet signs placed on both sides indicating the rig is powered by Green Energy. Place them on every time you park…..




No wait, they will steal the signs… never mind.

Stop consuming the “news”.

It’s mostly fear mongering clickbait.

Rent a garage, or secured parking garage. Plus living in a area like that, justifies vandalism insurance coverage.

I know you don't want to hear this, but if quality of life is that big of an issue, leave. This is America. You're not "stuck" anywhere.

This doesn't sound like a real thing
More than likely someone pissed off someone else and got tires slashed and the media (or possibly just one individual) exaggerated the problem into these eco terrorists armed with switchblade knives and attacking all the tires they can find in the name of eco justice.

Could this be the culprit ?
