The Hoff Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 So I got a new set of 452's fitted last week and when I was out cleaning the car today the neighbour noticed I had a flat tyre. Rear passenger side flat as a pancake. Upon close inspection its got a screw embedded in it. Took it to the local tyre fitters who said it cant be repaired as it too close to the side wall. I thought as much as it stuck through one of the outer tread sections. Bloomin great, they have only been on a week!! Need to sort one out for Tuesday as he didnt have any in. So annoying and nothing I can do about it. Talk about frustrating. Sorry, just needed to vent. Will continue cleaning the Z now and try to forget about the £100 I have lost. Quote
Maccaman Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Thats really bad luck. Amazing how many srews & nails there are around on the roads. Quote
Stew Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Just be glad they didn't have a few k on them or it might have needed 2! Quote

Why not put a tube in it, get some use out of the tyre. Quote
craigo Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Ouch!! that is bloody bad luck. Same thing happened to a mate in his Z4M last week. Brand new £220 tyre beyond repair. Quote
The Hoff Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 Didnt think of that, never tried it before Will ask Protyre tomorrow as I need to order a new one otherwise.

The Hoff Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Correct, they confirmed it couldnt be tubed today when I phoned them but they want to take a look and advise wether it can be sent back for a major repair rather than just a plug. Quote
