Sick of my PZero M 19" tyres.

Haven't been here for a while. Later this afternoon I am going to replace my 3rd p zero 19" tyres after another devastating punctures in early December. The tyre was holding up pressure but in the last week the front passenger lost from 270kpa to 165kpa after a weekend drive to nelson bay.

Last year I got my both rear tyres replaced after my 1st month and 3rd month of ownership. At least I have driven 9500km since August and I got tyre insurance from BMW. But this time I will be out of pocket but the $900 I spent is worth it.

P Zero 19" Rear RFT $650 each inc. fitting BMW Sydney
P Zero 19" Front RFT ~$500 each (will see as i have my last $100 insurance allowance of the year... out of $1400) - paid $400!

next time i might buy a 4WD 13" alloy with foam based wheels so i don't need to worry about any puncture, or just give me four strong legs and no need to run flat, just run tired tyres!

So far if i am out of pocket, it would cost me $1800 for 3 tyres...

was talking to real people in BMW. The Service Technician/Engineer actually are the honest part of the business as always. Apparently, Bridgestone Potenza S001 is the new RFT that officially can be patched instead of replacement.
