Need a new Tyre

[leethepee82]

My wife had to mount the curb today cause of a bandit bus driver today and this is the result of the left front wheel/alloy.

5496

Wanted to ask the forum.....what do you reckon my chances of National, Kwik Fit or Farmers having the tyre I need?

With Xmas fast approaching I need to use the car and can't risk it when the wall of a tyre has been damaged.

Damn bus drivers :hand:

I've never had much of a problem sourcing a standard R56 205/45/R17 Dunlop runflat plenty of choices in Edinburgh

Cheers Eddie.

How can you tell if you have a run flat? I don't think mines has them.

It should have one of the below "codes" on it:

SSR, RSC, ROF, RFT or ZP

...to Infinity and beyond !!!

[leethepee82]

I can't see any of them. I think I recall being asked if I wanted run flats when I bought the F56 and decided against it.

Why not just go to a tyre fitter and they'll tell you in seconds. ;)

And when you find out try black circles for a new tyre

Went to National and they have one which was the right fit but it was an Avon. Ended up just getting to stick that on. Was a non-runflat in the end.

Was the tyre wall just nicked ?
You would've only needed a tyre had it been through to the cord/ply ..

[leethepee82]

It was the tyre wall but it was more than just nicked. A good chunk of the rubber was off the wall.
