Talk about bad luck.

creepy coupe · 09-18-2017, 02:57 AM

Looking around the Wife's E92 last week. I noticed the tread on one of the front tyres looked lower than I'd liked. Not wanting to put one new tyre on. I forked out for 2 x new Goodyear Eagle asymmetric 2's. £244 all up.

Drove out of the tyre centre.Did what I always do, and took a quick blast up the motorway to the first junction, to make sure all was well.

Went back to work and parked up. Went to go home and one tyre was flat.Thought it was a leaky valve. No such luck. O/S tyre had something go through it.

Luckily, if you can call it luck? It could be plugged.

Did you get a lottery ticket to see if the carma may find a balance?

I did win £2.70 on Euro millions. I opened the email from them while having the tyre plugged. Obviously I hoped it might be enough for a new M4
