Roasted tyre...

[Kurt Adv]

Eish....so I'm on the highway today and I wind up with a puncture, musta ridden over smething, heard a small wack on the back wheel...a few kays later the car starts to vibrate, I see smoke in my driver mirror, pull over, rear tyre is history, inner sidewall is toast.....a fairly new 225/45-17 finished......

:sorry: ..hate the feeling of a wasted tyre..how much did you do on it?..if alot then not recommended to mix a brand new on one side with a used on the other

Not a nice experience. And you did not even do a burn-out :bangdesk:

 

[abmi0000]

Didn't the TPS alert you at all?

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

was this a normal or RFT?

 

[calypso]

Ive lost 2 that one in a year. Its kak.

 

[Hellas]

Best I had was 3000km on a Pirelli P6000 once. Not nice.

 

[CamZo]

shew atleast you came to a safe stop. if its a new tyre could it be a manufacturing default?

 

[Dippies]

Could have ended up way worse... :thumbdo:


Glad all ok :thumbs::thumbs:

I am gathering you were driving the E46 330i and not the 120i?

 

[Kurt Adv]

Answers to most of the above, in no order.
Yes, I was in my 330i
Don't have TPS
Tyre was about 50% worn
Fitted two new tyres today, put the good one as a spare, spare was about 70% worn.
It was a normal tyre, won't use Runflats.
Not sure of the milage, only had the car a week.
Lastly, no, I did not have a chance to do a burnout...

Expensive, but often essential.
