2 punctures in 1 day on same wheel.

Went out to car this morning, all was fine, on way to work front left tyre went soft, pulled into tyre fitters and they mended a puncture, cost 10euro, happy enough with that.
Five minutes later drove over a bit of timber on the road and it had screws sticking out of it.
Turned around and went back to tyre fitters to get it ch ec ked and sure enough it had a slow puncture.
They put a tube in 14euro and job done.
I have never got 2 punctures on the same wheel on the same day and within 5 minutes of the first repair.
Anyone else ever have a similar experience?

If you have tubeless tyres(which it would be very unlikely that you don't) there shouldnt ever be a tube fitted to it as it changes both the load and speed ratings of the tyre, fitting a tube is a lazy and potentially dangerous way used by tyre fitters of repairing slow punctures.

Jinxed start to the day! agree that the tube thing is lazy though!

Yes your right but its a temp fix til Friday when both front tyres are being repaced.

4 punctures in 5 months all out by Clonee/Damastown. All were screws of the same type. Would make ye a suspicious man.

I got a puncture on the rear tyre two times in one week. Thats how extreme it got for me.

I used work in Dunne Stores years agoa and we had a special area for parking our cars. This was also the same place pallets were broken up :mad:

We used think that DS and Advance Pitstop (there was one not 1 minute away) were conspiring against us!
