Tyres

The dreaded tyre warning light came on this morning...

Only 10,000 miles through the rear tyres as well :(.
A quick check at a petrol station reveals the rear drivers side tyre is a little low on pressure. Refilled it, checked the others, which were all fine.

Rechecked it again, it had lost roughly .1 bar since checking the other tyres.

I havent spotted the reason yet, but I will give it another scan over later. I suspect the usual nail in the tyre that seems to be attracted to my tyres.

The question is though, do I replace the tyres with the same Bridgestone Potenzas, the runflats. Probably replacing both rears.

Or do I try another tyre? What do you lot recommend?
 
yep i would try the repair route first... lost two tyres that way after that it vreds or falkens,,, but you would need to change the lot and that expensive unless they need replacing
 
Ah good,

I did just find this about Bridgestone runflats.

Turned out to be a tack in the middle of the tyre. Got it repaired at ATS for £21.

Happy again, as that could have been so much more expensive.

That seems incredibly sensitive....0.1 BAR setting off the TP warning....
Checked my tyres after winter and they all needed around 0.2 - 0.3 BAR...no warnings...weird.
