I got 2 flat tyres in my Corsa once, had to phone out the recovery people. Even if it had of been one flat, i'd of still called them out.

If i get a flat tyre on my Vectra i'll have to call them out whether i want to or not because the bolts are too tight for me to get them off. Tried taking a wheel off last week, got the car jacked up, wrench on the wheel, all my weight and strength on the wrench and the thing didn't budge.

They were copper greased and airgunned on by local tyre fitting place. Obviously wrong torque setting though unless i'm just a big girl.
