I've never heard of porcupine quills puncturing a tire. I don't think they
are rigid enough to go through a tire. I once ran over one (accidentally)
with the swather while cutting canola. I was picking quills out of the big
drive tire for a while after that but none of them went through far enough
to do damage. This was a 6 ply implement tire.
I don't know what he was doing out there, maybe eating canola.  They are
mostly bark eaters here. Willows seem to be preferred but they will go after
most types it seems.
