My next door neighbour were chatting the other day, he works at the local tyre centre and he was telling me about how they were getting a lot of BMW X5 coming in with flats,
The rears are some daft wheel like 20" x 10.5" and the tyres are 315/30/20 so bascially a rubber band. They come with runflat tyres from the factory.
Well, it turns out the reason for the flats is the wheels developing a hairline crack, in tun the tyre goes flat but sometime people don't notice and run on it for a while.
Then the other day he showed me a pug wheel (306 I think) it also had very low profile tyres and a dirty great crack in it
So I just thought I'd share on here, if you have mega low profile tyres, keep a close eye on your wheels.
And if you own an X5, well, You've only got yourself to blame really.
