yesterday i got home and realised that my rear left rim had a puncture, didnt realise how long it had been like that.
so went to BOREPAIRS? today and dropped it off, they had a look at it, called me, said that i needed a new Nakyang tyre coz its had a huge hole in it and it had come over the lip of the rim.
so needs a new one, and coz its Low Profile, its gonna cost me $250 for a new one, as there the cheapest low pro tyres available. they guy offered my $800 for a full set with same profile just better ones, i was like nah, so wednesday the tyre should be getting in, yay 4 me :(
now im rolling around on one Black spare tyre and 3 of my 18"s.
pretty ****in expensive for 1 tyre, bit dissapointed, oh well :(
//end rant

i havnt been driving hard or on gravel or stuff? how could i have popped it? not very happy...
or is that just a universal question? like how come there are always bolts left over after pulling something appart and rebuilding it again? or how come the grass is green? just something we have to come to accept...

lol consider yourself lucky.... that its only costing you that much

i bought 4 new continental tyres for my rims and driving down ousley i got a nail in the side of the rear right and it blew a hole out of the side wall
the back end went a bit crazy for a minute.. and then i managed to catch it. (phew...)
but the worst was i had a b-double next to me and a commo on the right :shock:
i was about 20 cm from hitting that truck :(

so 1 brand spanking new(150kms) tyre was stuffed... and i had to buy a new one :(

IIRC there off a lancer yeah? 215/35/18 unless ur speedos calibrated for the smaller wheel ur better off getting a set of 235/40/18 or something with the correct diameter which will also be cheaper as its a more common size.
