Doesn't the M3 come with that flat repair kit instead of a spare? If so doesn't that stuff you inject into the tire to fix the falt make patching difficult?

Yes, it does, at the sealant will make a supreme mess of the inside of the tire. I would only use it as an absolute last resort. I carry a plug kit, which together with the compressor, will handle the most common punctures until you can get it patched.

I replaced my tyre 2 weeks ago due to a puncture in the sidewall this could not be repaired as it would be unsafe & illegal the replacement Mich cost £251.00 after a 10% discount, exactly a week later I got another puncture in the same tyre, luckily this time the poxy nail was right in the middle. So it was repaired & cost £20.

You guys should consider yourselves lucky...here in Montreal, POTHOLES are the causes of flats, as was the case on my 335 a few weeks ago...yay! - and no RFTs, because they were winter tires.

I declined the Tire Warranty package at first, but after reading this thread, I went back 2 days later and added it. In Canada I think those tires are really expensive. Love this forum!

FWIW - I have tire insurance on my 911S, and will be getting it on my 08 M3. Porsche (as well as some tire companies here in town) all said repairing a puncture on performance tires was a bad idea. Either way, due to nails, a nasty pothole and more nails - I got my money's worth x10 out of the insurance. My Porsche had tires replaced under insurance at least 3-4 times including one wheel fix after nasty pothole incident.
Performance tires are too expensive and too vulnerable, so I will always get the insurance. Cheers. |

Again I reiterate my question as no one chose to respond...Can you use non-OE tires and have applicable insurance?
