Gutted !!!!!!!!!!

[Basher]

Only had the car 2 weeks 140 miles in and got a bloody puncture ! Damn damn damn .... so £450 for a new rear tyre already.....grrrrrrrr bloody boots on this are more expensive than my lambo tyres ..anyone used Michellin PS2 on a V12 V or do they not come in the required size ? Think ill revert to normal Pzeros when tyres need changing next

[krisdelta]

£450 sounds pricey - I am sure I paid £300 from Harwoods 3 months ago... hope you get it sorted for a decent price.

+1. You being quoted by Harrods ??

[yvr]

Tragic . Is there no road hazard warranty for this? Seems whenever I've gotten a puncture I've got too many miles and end up replacing L&R at the same time .

Try Event Mobile Tyres mate.

Should be less than £250 fitted and they come to you.

[peterr96]

You were had mate.
I got some tyres for less than £40 each the other day.
I did have to fit them myself though.





On my bike

When we used to live up north our house was so small......

I will definitely be trying PSS when the time comes to change tyres. I believe these are replacing the PS2. Superb tyres, IMO.

Guys we are talking about V12V tyres here not the RE050's on the V8V

[Adam2S]

Are you sure its not repairable - is it a "sidewall" puncture??? Most dealers try to talk you into getting new tyres when many of the punctures can be safely and legally repaired!

[lady topaz]

Not going to go down the repair or replace argument, its been done to death on here.

I chose to replace both my punctured rears on advice from AM WS and Pirelli (same tyre) at close on £500 each.

Most will say madness but I am happy that I have new rubber.

To me, my safety and peace of mind is worth more than a couple of hundred quid.

Is there something in the water?

[Basher]

Getting old tyre back anyway to see if it can be repaired ..and yes its the V12V p zero corsas - got them at 375 + vat

Pain in the rear end, sorry to hear about the puncture. I had two within two weeks on a previous V8V, so I know how you feel.

I agree with regards to the Michelin's I'm amazed A.M. don't look at them, WAY better than the Pirelli's IMO.

Not sure on pricing but I negotiated the tyre insurance as part of my V12 purchase. Allows me to claim for 5 tyres in 3 years. Only requirements are that they must have 2.5mm of tread left on them and a complete puncture/deflation - I did ask if the policy came with 5 nails that could be applied when the tread was 2.6mm

Indeed. I've just replaced 2 of these very same tyres on the DB9.

V12V is a different animal

AND ten (count them) alloy wheel repairs over three years, I got this with my V8 last year. Why do people not buy this? You can buy these on the net for £300 ish, so one puncture and you've got your money back.

With that many exclamation marks I thought it was something serious......
