Flat Tyre

Casdawer · 25 Apr 2016 at 16:19

So there I was driving home and then suddenly a loud bang!

I managed to hit a pot hole that I must have not seen and now my tyre is as flat as a pancake.

So I need to get it replaced and due to the time, if I change to my emergency tyre, it will be too late to take it to the garage.

Can anyone recommend any decent mobile fitting company's?

Also, it's a FWD so should I replace both front tyres?

You location may be quite useful if you want a man in a van to pop round and do it.

I live in Oving Village which is just outside of Chichester.

Emergency tyre replacement could be expensive but - http://www.extremetyres.com/tyre-fitting/emergency-mobile-tyre-fitting

From National I can get 2 Barum Brillantis for £82 inc fitting.

From eTyres, I can get 2 DUNLOP - SPORT BLURESPONSE tyres for £108 inc fitting.

The Dunlops seem to have better reviews online but I don't know if I should get 1 or 2!

I use event tyres, great service.

I used SOS tyres last year and found the service to be very reasonable. I had a Goodyear AS2 fitted for not much more than what the tyres + fitting would've cost had I purchased the tyres from camskill and taken them to my local fitters. Give them a shout to see whether they service Chichester area.

Edit: Talking about Event tyres. I did originally book them but after confirmation they called me back to let me know the tyre I wanted wasn't in stock. Whilst the service itself was fine, It would've saved me a bit of hassle had they just told me when I booked in! The SOS guys used to be employed by Event tyres, or so they say.

defenetly replace it dont repair it... its gonna loose air faster than the other 3 ones

Well I've check the tread on the other tyres and 1 needs replacing anyway, 1 is half-way and the other is OK.

Debating to replace all 4 and be done with it.

Bit the bullet and getting all 4 done.

Fingers crossed it's done no other damage to the car!

Take a pic of the pothole if you can in case you need to claim against the council for repairs
