What a day!!

Not a good one to be fair


Went to pick my car up from York as I dropped it off on Monday for inspection II service all good and a good price.


Coming home heard a noise . . . . next the flat tyre light comes on the dash. Stopped got out the M mobility pack and pumped up the tyre only to find that the air was coming out as fast as I could put it in. There is a hold on the inside side wall:banghead:.

Ring BMW emergency @16.15 . . . . . gets picked up @18.30 then the breakdown truck gets a puncture!!! Had to go to their depot and swap trucks. Got home 10 mins ago:banghead:


Got to price up a new tyre now, but I am wondering should I fit two new rears or will it be ok with one new?

Shit day then....

I would say that it would be best to replace both unless the one was replaced not that long ago.

5mm tread left on the other rear tyre.

Different wear on the tyres could cause premature wear on the diff albeit I'm not sure what the tolerance will be. I also don't know what tyres you run so I don't know what the initial, new tread depth would be to compare to 5mm.

265/30R19 93Y MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 2 (PS2) XL

Might end up buying two new ones. Best price I have found so far is £594.78 fitted.

Anyone say if that is a good price?

[glendog74]

I think brand new PS2s are about 8mm tread?

£595 fitted is about as good as you will get for 2 new Michelin PS2s as they tend not to get discounted - just like Cup tyres :smt012

Just ordered two tyres. They are coming out to my house to fit them too:thumbs: £594.78 all in

Sorry to hear of your shitty day,

Did the tyre get a blowout or do you think it might have been punctured at the Stealers????

Bad news, not a good day!

I'll need a new set of rears, same tyres soon. Who did you buy from out of interest?

If has crossed my mind. The tyre didn't blow out, it just wouldn't seal due to the hole being on the sidewall on the inside of the tyre.

You should have got us to do the service, half the price, same parts used. bmw stamp in book, and you would have saved on 2 tyres:whistle:
