Another puncture

Jesus this car... never had so many punctures since taking ownership this year.

Oh that looks nasty. What is it? Do you have the spare?

Stop driving through construction sites.

Unfortunate but how is it the cars fault?

*knocks on wood* only had one puncture mid-tire that was easily patchable on the F80. So far so good on the F97.

Third puncture this year

Doesn't help living opposite two houses getting built and a church demolished further up the road.

How much are the tires?

That's no good Rusty, my worse was bursting a tyre once on the way home from picking a new car up.

100% the problem right there. I only get punctures when I drive through construction in my neighborhood. Last year got two flats at same time in our Audi.

At least they aren't windshields...our Highway is under permanent construction. Both our vehicles needed new glass within a a couple months of each other.

Yikes feel for you m8.

When I moved into my new construction home and community many years ago, my MY03 540iT M Sport with factory summer Conti's picked up a nail on a different wheel corner each week for 4 weeks...

Absolutely - hate new construction. I think between my wife and I we've needed four or five new tires in the last few years - all related to new homes going up nearby.

After the last tire replacement, one of the longstanding Technicians told me this time he also "removed the magnets from all of the wheels" so I shouldn't keep getting these so often. He said it with a straight face so it took me a sec to catch his joke...

I got a non reparable screw in my OEM contis with only about 300 miles on them.

I swear these summer tires are made out of magnets that pick up everything.

Do you have the PS4s or contis?
