Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 How old were your car's tyres? If they were all the vehicle's originals, it's unsurprising that they all went at about the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Before I got solid tyres on my wheelchair, I had three punctures in four outings would that beat your score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not I, that'd really be rather annoying. Had one last month, brand new tyre Was on the edge so no repair. Prior to that, several years ago.

It perhaps says more about your driving than your tyres. Hit kerbs and pot holes and you will have punctures. Drive down roads in the East End of Sheffield where the scrap dealers operate and you will get metal in your tyres and get punctures. I can better it. I didn't get any punctures during the same period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't park up near a builder's skip do you? I had two punctures in as many months when a neighbour was having renovation work done – lots of old tacks, nails and screws on the road – which I didn't notice until too late.

max Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I used to work at what was British Steel Stainless and the car park was on the other side of the plant from the entrance. I used to get so many punctures that I ended up buying a hydraulic jack which I kept in the car. I think I had about 10 in the period of 1 year, that included a near fatal burst tyre on the M25.
