Hello,
New to the Cayman post I have owned my Cayman S since March 06 and also paid 54k for the car; and what a great drive
Anyway, having approached 19,500 miles my rear tyres needed replacing (1st set) and therefore I rang around and managed to get Michelin Pilot Sports N1 265/35/ 19" for 240GBP each from Pro Tyres in Slough, part of the Michel Dever Group. This was great as I had quotes as high as 370 GBP, funny enough from Porsche...
All was great until I had a really odd puncture last night over a short journey - I heard light bang and thought that was odd and 3 miles later I realised the tyre was deflating quite rapidly
I quickly got the compressor out and hooked it up on order to inflate the tyre and I caught it just before the pinch. However the tyre wall has scrubbed a little on both the outside and inside, may be about an inch into the wall. Does anybody know the best way of checking the wall without the compulsory you need a new tyre, Sir'
Also I am really intrigued because the tyre has not deflated since, compared to a rather rapid deflation the night before?
If anybody has had similar experiences I would be very keen to know....
