As per the title, I present my case:-
Car due for MOT by 26 Sept.
Already know the front tyres are getting very close to limit.
So got 2x new front tyres fitted back on 9th August.
Car goes in for MOT & Service 11th Sept.
Garage say "Good News, passed MOT all OK" "Bad News, you appear to have a nail/screw in one of your front tyres!"
Hadn't noticed any loss of pressure on the dash-board, tyre-pressure-sensors warnings, so was hopeful that not fully penetrated the tyre...
But after a revisit to local tyre fitters today, they confirm it is well and truly punctured..
fortunately they were able to patch & repair...
So.... Don't know exactly when the tyre was punctured..
But it was within 33 days Max!! (9 Aug to 11 Sept)..
Anyone had a new tyre punctured in less than 33 days???????????????
