Blew a tire :-(

arts711 · 03-02-2015, 10:39 PM

i blew a tire on the turnpike (pothole) and the pirelli's got me home, but now the question comes.. do I get one new one or two new ones?

it depends on how much wear you have on the other tire... any tire shop should tell you what to do

I caught a nail in my tire with about 1200 miles. BMW wouldn't repair it so I proceeded to buy (500$) another one. d'oh! Then I went by discount tire and they fixed my pretty much brand new tire for free. So if you need one and are local I got one for Ya.

make sure you check the wheel when you change the tire. I hit a pot hole my first week and cracked the wheel.

apparently these eco friendly pirelli run flats are really hard to find in a pinch, even had some trouble at dealers. for the price, I'd rather go PSS. Eventually, had to bring it to a dealer that had just one.

so i was able to get the tire replaced and less than a week later, the same side tire burst again. is there anything in terms of what the dealer can do to get me a replacement without additional costs?

don't you get road hazard insurance with the new tire ?

arts711 · 03-06-2015, 09:44 PM

no :-( didn't think it would be possible to go through tires that quickly

time to switch to regular PSS's

at half the price

those must be some major pot holes

Just pulled the trigger on PSS, gonna forgo the rest of the run run flats. Anyone need any?
