Huge Screw in my E32's tyre

[Eggie86]

Was having lunch a couple of weeks back at the curry house along 222 when I noticed my rear left tyre looking somewhat flat. Thought nothing of it at first, and thought it was due to the uneven road surface where I parked my car, but the next morning when I was about to start cleaning my ride, lo and behold, the tyre was having a tummy!So, quickly brought it to the tyre shop to get it fixed before my afternoon sojourn to Seremban that very same day...

Wow, look at that layer of dust.

Here's the darn culprit. Look at the size of that screw! Luckily there wasn't a serious puncture.

Eggie..wrong jacking point me think..you have to be extra careful when the tyre guy start to jack your car..they put the jack right under my fuel tank!!

Do u have tyre alarm in your E32? We call it run flat alarm but its actually nothing to do with run flat tyres. Its actually some simple maths of using the vehicle stability control to calculate the revolution for each wheel and to trigger an alarm when one of the wheel register extra revolution due to shrink in circumference caused by deflation.

Gosh serious? No idea whether the workshop jacked it correctly. Was quite stable when I went near the brake discs and touched it.

Hey Astro, nope my car doesn't have tyre alarm. Older model so hafto rely on eyes and intuition whenever notice something different with the car's handling.

Thanks for the tip too. :top:

That's why the other cars filled with nitro- Next tire change- Gonna to fill it with air. Convenient as I can pump the tire at pump & go to near by tire shop to do the patch.
