Nailed my tyre!

alik01 · 06-04-2010, 05:39 AM

Just venting...

Tyre went flat yesterday, think it was a fairly slow leak cos the pressure 'sensor' went off. The guys took the tyre to the tyre shop and were told it was unrepairable since the nail gone through the inside and pinched the sidewall. Really bummed cos they only had about 4000kms! Ordered 2 more from Gill at tire rack, hopefully gets here soon.

Stuck in the work car till then - hate the Q7!

Mate that sucks. 4k means they were barely run in! What tyres were they?

Thanks for the tip Banglemangle, but not going back to runflats! Already ordered 2 more from Gill and I have the other car till they get here.

Jeef Beef, thanks mate. They were Michelin PS2s, loved those tyres.

Also guys, should I get 2 tyres or just the one?

How much was your shipping from T-R?

You should get two mate, and you should be replacing each end of the car at the same time. ie: If you blow rear left, replace rear right unless it's BARELY used and you can get the same tread pattern.

Alex, not sure how much yet, I just emailed him
yesterday, about to check work emails. Hopefully not extortionary!

Was going go 2, but just wanted to check. Thanks for the advice mate.
