She's 1 month old and I've had it!

Popped my 2nd RFT this morning on 267E...one of the smoothest roads in NoVA. I'm taking it to Merchants and having Michelin Pilot Sport A/S put on .

Now, to figure out something in case of a flat. Mobility Kit? Space saver spare?

Should I simply keep my RFT 225/40/18 and throw it on a rim for a spare?

Thanks...just venting.

How you popped it? Did it hit a nail or something?

I always keep a standard tire repairing kit in my trunk. It is pretty easy to bluck up nail hole without the need to swap into a spare.

No idea. All I heard was a loud pop and what seemed like something hitting my inner fender. It's very low on air...dealer is going to top it off and hopefully I can get it 12miles down the road to Merchants.

that blows. i know the feeling. i got a flat on my e60 and was not a happy camper.

Spydeputy · 07-14-2009, 10:33 AM

order a spare for an E60 f/ Tisher. $275, delivered
it fits your E90.
it comes w/ a spare, jack, lug wrench.
everything you need
now go out and buy the tires you really want!

I changed 3 RFTs already in the last 14 months and just got an appointment to change another one next Thursday. Thank god I bought tire insurance.

Sounds like bad luck to me.. I've had my General UHPs on for the last year and a half.. no problems.. less tires going bald in the back.

Same here.
the rears go bad fast.

the2rz · 07-14-2009, 02:26 PM

Thanks everyone. It's having Michelin Pilot Sport A/S installed today/tomorrow. I'm going to order the spare and already have the mobility kit.

I'm thinking of keeping one 225/40 to use as a full size spare should I need it on a long trip...thoughts? Figured it would front and back easily.

Spydeputy · 07-15-2009, 08:46 AM

do you have a staggered set-up.

the2rz · 07-15-2009, 10:19 AM

Yes, staggered.

Sniz · 07-16-2009, 07:29 PM

buy the Continental mobility kit, tires sealant, gauge, and air pump in 1....nice unit.

Do the sealant kits gunk up the TPMS sensors?

the2rz · 07-24-2009, 11:34 AM

Car is doing much better now...love the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus and added the e60 spare kit. Also, just had the HPFP replaced this morning...could tell she was going bad.
