Payco Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hi All Just got a call at work from the Mrs to say my offside rear tyre is flat on my Z parked at home. Can anyone tell me is the spare a full alloy on the zed or a "get me home" tyre. Planning to garage her in a couple of weeks for the winter and dont fancy spending out for a new tyre before the spring. I have a trip to Wasso in a couple of weeks and was hoping i might be able to drive it on the spare. Also hoping that there's not a a nasty nail in it and its saveable. Any responses this afternoon will help my anger management. Thanks Martin Quote
ZMANALEX Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Martin, If you have a 350 then it is a space saver. If you have a 370 there is no spare. Alex Quote
Payco Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Alex 350z so its looks like an expensive weekend unless she can be saved. Thanks for messaging back. Martin Quote
ZMANALEX Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I will have a decent preowned rear tyre in stock depending on what brand you are after. Give me a shout if I can help further once you checked it out. Alex. Quote

ZMANALEX Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Never seen a 370 base with 18" wheels, guess I should get out more :lol: Quote
Payco Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Alex Thanks. Will message you once I have had a look and know the extent of the damage. Regards Martin Quote
Supratad Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Hopefully you will have picked up something on the way home and it went flat while sitting on the drive, so it would just be a £10 puncture fix. Otherwise you drove home on a flat and that will have wrecked the inner casing. Quote
Payco Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks to Alex and all those that replied. Lady luck was shining on me. I took it to be checked out and we found a small nail that had gone through the sole of the tyre. £10 patch and a few extra quid for a drink fixed the issue. My weekend was somewhat cheaper than I feared it would be. I dont mind replacing worn tyres but this was one was hardly worn, would have been a painful pill to swallow if the tyre was to be thrown away. Thanks again ALL Martin Quote
ZMANALEX Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Glad to hear that you are sorted Martin and that it was a cheap fix Alex Quote
