Drywall screws are the usual suspect here. They just seem to be
attracted to tires. I was never sure how they got flipped up and driven
in but when you pull them out they are always perpendicular to the
tread. The fix is usually just shooting in a plug. I know they have a
bad reputation but I have never seen one fail and construction people
get lots of flats. With all the nail guns, there is always "air" on the
job and someone has a tire plug handle in their tool box.

Rear tire? Most of my flats tend to be the rear tires. I figure the
front tire bounces the point up for the rear tire to catch. Probably
not, but still most of my flats tend to be the rear tire. I also use
plugs without any problems.
