Maybe I should have got tyre insurance? - ED209 - 27-04-2012 08:12pm
So thought i had a slow puncture 2 weeks ago, pumped tyre up and by this morning it was flat again.
So i bite the bullet and take it to a friends garage for him to find and fix a puncture, turns out my almost brand new tyre had a nice big screw through it.
He reconed it was touch and go for the tyre because it was fairly close to the sidewall. It was repaired but i recon if i had been a stranger and he wanted to flog a tyre it would not have been!
Lucky escape as i didnt fancy £180 to replace an almost brand new tyre!

That ain' t too bad , I once fitted some 255/35/18 pilot sport run flats to my BMW
Dove 1 mile & ran over some nails both new tyres punctured
£287 each & did 1 mile
Run flats could not be repaired , so say BMW
Luckily I have ordered the RR wit unlimited tyre cover

My tyre place gives a months free insurance in with the tyre for that situation.
