Really?

 Michiko Kakutani reviews Jonathan Franzen's new novel "Freedom" in the NY Times today.  Her review includes this sentence:

"His wife, Patty, also seems "nicey-nice" on the surface, but turns out to be an ill-tempered shrew, who rages at Walter and inexplicably slashes a neighbor's new snow tires."

Is that still possible? I thought modern steel-belted radials couldn't be slashed, not without an awful lot of non-nicey-nice application of power. Maybe she used a chain saw. Or am I wrong?
