The Hoff Posted February 15, 2009 Share 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.

Why not put a tube in it, get some use out of the tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hoff Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share 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.
