	I once had a tyre come off my 17s on the motorway, only down the centre though, the sidewalls stayed attached to the wheel, centre of tyre disapeared, wasnt a run flat though. Cracked the alloy too :(

	The air pressure sensors don't actually work until you set them up, once the tyres are pumped up to the designated pressure.

	quote: Originally posted by VegasPhil Sounds like a pressure problem if all the tyres are gone. Too low pressure?? maybe but thats what the sensors are for, as short of checking the preasure there is no wasy of telling if they are low, still waiting for kwik fit now to come do them

	been checked by third parties twice in last two weeks, so...., they are leaking black dust every where?

	Probably should check your tyres more often and it wouldn't have happened.......

	quote: Originally posted by ARD1 dont think so mainly motorway miles, very strange tyre wear on all the tyres one has perfect tread but for the side wall which has wire hanging out of it, but rac man says that he has never seen anything like it Sounds like tyre faults. You pissed anyone off? Might have leaked chloroform into your tyres...

	Jesus. seems weird that three would all go together like that. How many miles on them? Have you run over any sharp debris?
ARD1	posted on 29th Apr 08 at 20:07
	Are crap! the display tells me that ive lost preasure in the tyre so i pull off the motorway and into the services. to see that the tyre is almost in two pieces down the middle!. car had to be brought home by rac, who says that 3 of the tyres are nearly gone!. Car onlyhad a major service last week and nothing said. Friday last week the car was checked as its going back [end of three year lease] and said everything was ok anybody else had run flats do this?
