My black Rubber Friday......!!!

Black Rubber Friday On the way to having my winter service 8 miles out got this Puncture on the right rear @ around 75MPH...!! But around 20 seconds before the puncture I got a warning from my TPMS so I was already slowing down to pull over to take a look.. even with the tire totally deflated it still let me drive to the service garage at 30mph so no tow truck needed just love the steel walled radials there not for every one but stopped the tire from shredding and taking out the wheel arch,... also slow deflation so no wheel Rim damage and still let me drive to my Destination, two new rear tyres on now and the winter underbelly of the car serviced as well as an oil change well pleased.....the 98 mile run home was faultless lol









very impressed with this TPMS Unit that I have fitted






waiting over at bespoke performance for the new shoes



engine oil & filter change when i can find it.....!



Underbelly ready for the winter

Epic tyre failure....i know you can run 888s with 0 pressure as ive done it...thats when tpms shows its worth as due to stiff sidewalls doesnot look flat....lol

Pleased your OK Tony, however looking at the tyre wear it looks like you have a geometry issue,

Probably as simple as too much negative camber with not enough tyre contact area for the power you have

your right clive it was sorted on the service what gets me is I had to buy two new tyres when I have got 4 new ones in the loft of the garage    and a new on the spare wheel, it could of blown 8 miles on the way home mind you at lest i got the camber sorted  :lol: and no damage
