My GR Yaris Circuit Pack finally arrived on Friday. I collected it Friday evening, drove home from the dealer, drove to get petrol - and the tyre pressure warning light came on. Checked it out in daylight on Saturday morning and I had a large screw through the tyre!
Having to replace any new tyre is always annoying, particularly when it has done less then 30 miles. However, when I checked on Black Circles there were no Michelin PS4S available. Nor at Kiwk Fit. Nor anywhere else I tried.
Speaking to Toyota this morning, there are none in the country! The earliest delivery is expected is 3 March. In the meantime the car is unusable! The wait to actually drive the car continues, even though I have now taken delivery. Very frustrating - not least as the first 30 miles were fantastic!

I was told it could not be replaced at that spot, unfortunately.

Could you replace 2 tyres on the same axle to a different brand?
I probably could. But the PS4S are part of the Circuit Pack - and great tyres - so I’m keen to stick with those. Plus I’d prefer to buy one new tyre rather than two!

They don’t have a demo. I’m waiting to hear from Toyota Head Office - I’m sure they must have some spare tyres for their press car(s)?
