New Michelin Pilots - Unlucky ?

[w1nup]

Got some new rears for my 996 this week, 5 days later I have a flat. Is this unlucky for me or poor from the dealer who fitted them?

Sounds unlucky to me... is it a puncture or has the bead seperated from the rim?

Depends why, doesn't it? If the valve has gone you'd ask the fitter to replace it. If its a manufacturing fault ask the dealer to replace it.

If you've got a nail in it - its you just being unlucky, I'm afraid.

When I first got my latest Porsche within days I had to replace the rear nearside Pilot Sport as the blasted buildres had strewn nails all over the road. Then a few weeks later I had to replave both nearside tyres due to a pothole on the A82 near Loch Lomond. The Scottish Executive settled the last two, though, but only after eighteen months of fighting.

Drives you potty, doesn't it. Anyway - find out why you have a flat and maybe, just maybe, you can get a replacement...
