Problem

[Craig74]

Hi All

Got my new Coupe today... All was fantastic until around 2 miles from home..... The car felt like it had an Egg shaped wheel. I thought i had a puncture so pulled over the tyre looked a little flat so went to the garage put some Air in and it has made no differnce at all the car still feels like it has an Egg for a wheel. Any Ideas what it could be? the car still has BMW warranty but would like to know...

Cheers

That does suck but at least gives you an excuse to ditch the RFTs

Sorry to hear that you have a problem so early , just a thought have you checked your wheel nuts ?

Not good :thumbsdown: Did the tyre pressure warning not activate? It should have done so in a matter of yards for a total deflation

Is this a puncture or a bald spot? When you put air in was it actually deflated?

Sucks especially when you should be enjoying it on the first day.

As Daveg said good excuse to get some non rft.

When i said a hole it was like a dent in the tyre very strange. The tyre didnt defate!!! The inside edge was worn.. So not sure what happend at all. New tyres fitted and loving the car again....
