UNABASHED Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Can anyone tell me roughly how much one of these screws costs? It's stainless steel I think and about an inch long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNABASHED Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 your all wrong. They cost around £140, that's when they're sticking out the side of your tyre of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Why do screws ALWAYS end up at the EDGE of the tyre Out of my last 6 encounters with screws only 1 was repairable. Last one was only 2 months ago and I had 1/2 tread left Need a magnet mod on the front bumper to catch the pesky blighters before getting reaching the tyres.

UNABASHED Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 it does always seem to be right at the edge of the tyre instead of anywhere repairable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragus Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Feel for you mate! Sometimes feels like your going one step forward two back - a? I had a nail, not on the outer edge but about 1.5 cm from the outer side of the wheel - no big branded places but would touch it (they wanted 250-300 for a new tyre). Got a wee independant place to fix it for a tenner - I havent had a spot of bother with it. If the tyre was nearly done fair play but it was 6 weeks old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 YOU JINXED ME! Found another screw in my new tyre today Only 2 months old as it replaced an old tyre damaged BY A SCREW What's worse is I was in Tescos joking on my mobile with a friend how it might be vandalism and i need me a button on the keyfob. Push said button. Boot pops open. Midget jumps out with a stool. Sits next to the zed guarding it til I return . Look behind me and guess who's staring back at me looking MEGA P$SSED A MIDGET What's the chances of that happening and getting a screw in the tyre on the same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 That is pretty unlucky Headphones! I had my car booked at Alba Tyres (crap) yesterday lunchtime and as I was half way there from work they called to say the tyre they ordered was wrong. They had ordered the front tyre size instead of the rear tyre size, that's after I made sure with the guy ordering it in front of me had ordered the correct size as his little work experience monkey who gave him the tyre size was clearly looking at the front wheel!! Anyway I went back to work (having pretty much missed my lunch) and waiting for the call saying the correct size had arrived. As I finished work and was on way home I finally got the call to say they had it so I drove over. I got there at 4.15pm and handed the keys over, at 5.20pm they finally had it finished - over an hour to fit a bloody tyre?! Anyway it's all sorted now until the next time I drive through a carpark with half of B&Q spread accross the floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
