Ok so cars only done 6k and i now have a 2nd puncture on the same tyre i had 1 previously..

Took it my mate who's MOT guy at KWIKfit said he repair it on the edge but after discussions decided to leave it as is and pump it up every 2 weeks.

But I'm now going to buy a new tyre. but i have a few questions

Current tyres are 235/35/19 dunlop Sprtmaxx been ok apart from the punctures and i love the rim protection they give, having diamond edged amg wheels i don't want to stuff them

The cost of a tyre fully fitted is 143 quid
Mich Pilot super sport is 177, but i don't think they have rim protection.

so are all tyres prone to punctures the same,
Do Michs have any benefit other than last 20% Longer..
Should i mix 1 Mich with 3 dunlop ?


Thanks

 

michelins are a harder compound by nature so last longer than most, but are very noisy imo (had michelin pilots)

personally its a bad idea running 2 different tyres on the same axle due to compounds, tread pattern, grip etc can be affected

the constant punctures imo aren't a problem with the dunlops, but maybe where you take the car!

 

ok dunlop then.... just weird how its same tyre ... hardly go anywhere apart from puncture repair shop

 

i think it may just be rotten luck!

 

yeah, ok so got 1 fitted for 140 quid... ill see how she fairs till sunday then book her in next week...

 

Tell me you're pulling our pisser?!

 

I doubt Michelin Super Sports would last any longer - they are fairly soft hence why they so grippy.

 

Michelin are doing a cash back offer at the moment

 

They do last longer than the OEM rubber.

 

i always thought they lasted longer, But i had to ask Shaun LOL, i don't drive like a nutter and i thought lets start the Michelin road train now..

But i won't i,ll get dunlop again...
