steve916 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Went out to the car this afternoon, and noticed a screw sticking out from drivers side front tyre I've only recently had a full set of MPSS fitted so I was hoping it could be repaired. No such luck. It's outside the repairable area, so I have to go back again tomorrow for a new tyre. Oh well, S-Max it is for work tonight then.

350zedd Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Sorry to hear that Steve......what a bummer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 EXACTLY the same thing happened to me about a month ago - now I've got one in the middle of the frigging rear, repairable at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Even worse if you had worn the tyre a little more and then had to have both done to avoid mismatched wear. Still a real pain in the butt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Damned inconvenience and unnecessary expense. Had the same issue earlier this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Could be worse - I had a wide cut in an Avon ZZ3 rear recently, and they don't make them anymore, so it had to be a pair of ZZ5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisday1990 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 How much are these tyres each? I have some naff ones on the front that the previous owner put on.. Found out these are £60.00 each and they make the under steer at times í ½í¸³ the rears are OEM bridgestones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 bridgestones at the rear - get some on the front! http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/bridgestone/potenza-s001/225-45-r18-95y-190136 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can wait a few days, try Oponeo for tyres, theyre online, i got my Dunlop Sport Max tyres from them, saved £100 a tyre and were delivered in 4 days. At least you wont be paying full whack which may ease your pain somewhat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll find cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
