Cossie Dave Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Last Tuesday I got a flat tyre on the way to work/overnight and drove on it without realising so it fooked the tyre completely. So I replaced it with another which I got fitted on sat afternoon, then today (2 days later) I have another flat tyre on the same wheel, I haven't drove on it but it's flat, pressure is reading 0.00 and it's as flat as my engine lol. Anyone got any idea what would cause this, there's no damage at all to the wheel that I can see and it balanced up perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sortedford Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 maybe theres a sharp bit on the inside of the wheel, i would have thought the fitter should have noticed tho. was it fitted rite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossie Dave Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 It was fitted spot on and hadn't gone down at all until this afternoon, I checked all four before i left work and took me about 35-45 minutes to get to where I was going, I was in the place for another 45 minutes and when I came out it was flat again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
