Tyre woes
Hi all
Nov '16 M2 owner.
Had a run of tyre and wheel issues due to our lovely UK roads. Wondering what everyone's experience is?
Before this Ive never had a flat tyre since I passed my test in '89!
I'm a bit dissappointed that almost every time I go to use my car, I come back with either a stone hitting the wheel, or (more often) a flat tyre! I do a drive past the grand tour test track, up around to Avebury and back through Marlborough. It's not far but it's a nice run when it's dry. Last time I went I go a puncture in the tyre wall (near side rear) and the kicker is i'd done less than 100 miles on it as I'd picked up a nail in the previous one. So £270 down the drain twice in just over 100 miles! Then on inspection (at my dealer) the two front tyres had identical bulges in them, so they needed doing. Ive not curbed them, this is seemly from normal roads???
Car came with Conti's - changing the fronts to Michelin PSS.
Anyone else having these issues? Also was stranded with the second rear puncture to discover - no space saver, and the foam wasn't in it's correct place.
Is there a space saver kit anyone has found?
Finally a pigeon hit the front at 40 mph. Is mine jinxed?
