Someone this morning very kindly decided to pull out on me on the way home from work. Pulled out of side street as I was about to pass.I managed to avoid him but hit both off side wheels on kerb on opposite side of road doing about thirty mph at the time. Result being I need two new tryes and one alloy wheel repair. My lovely vrs is currently sat on drive feeling sad. Took me an hour to get home travelling at 10mph. Bugger who pulled out didn’t decide to stop that was too easy for them.

Can anyone provide me with details of alloy repair people they may have used inthe Bury area of Manchester and a good place to get two new tyres. I need225/40 R18.

If I get two the same make as currently have continental sport contact 2 on canI change my wheel around ie put two continentals on the front and the other twoon the back etc.. Bit of a stickler for same make tyres on the car.

Great end to the year. She is sat on my drive now with one wheel flat as the gunge rubbish didnt work due to the size of hole in tyre.

I would go with Event Tyres, very good mobile service and excellent prices used them for many years.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune shame on the other person for having the moral fiber to stop and even see if you were ok ..... cowardly scum. Bright side your ok though and car has done its job to some extent. Hope you get sorted soon and have a good new years. (I had similar thing on 1 wheel still not sorted on my vrs at just 4K)

Conti SC3 are the only ones you can get now, or the SC5. When you get them, just swap them around so both are on the same axle.

Looking at at least £350 to fix all that. I have a wheel to refurb over the winter whilst my 16's are on too after an interface with a broken drain.

Thanks for all the support briskodians. I do the journey everyday and never a problem even this morning coming home there was no sign of any car near to where it happened. Just under a bit of pressure know as on nights till weekend so cant really do anything till then. Didnt realise thought that if you have the gunge stuff it comes with a car pump from cig lighter. Wasted a £1 trying to put air in.

Fubar youre right about the car it did its job. Funny think was though I knew tyre had been flat for two miles before warning light came on in the dash. A bit late I thought, might have to ge tthat looked at.

Cheers once again.
