Abarth Grande Punto
Went out for a bike ride yesterday morning which was all going well until about 5 miles from home got a puncture! So great have to walk home! Not too bothered as it was a nice'ish day and i had my ipod with me! So i get home get cleaned up and head off to halfords to get the necessary kit! Walk out into the carpark and for some reason i think to myself 'i will check my car tyres!' Low and behold ive got a flat on there too!
Took it round the corner to Kwik Fit to see what the damage was and they said the trye needs replacing as i had been driving on flat and worn the tyre wall! They didnt have the tyres or was i going to pay there prices! So i go home put a can full of that fome s**t in it and pump it up and it seems to be okay for now.
I ring costco in lakeside and they are doing michelin pe2's for £81 each but the guy said they are doing a deal at the mo where if you buy a full set you get 20% off! Works out £261 fitted which i didnt think was too bad works out just over £60 a tyre! Front 2 are on the limit so i thought sod it i will buy a set and keep one as spare! So new shoes for my 182 next weekend!
It doesnt end there!.... Turns out my bike had a slow puncture on the back aswell so had to sort that out this morning!
3 punctures in 24 hours! Could only happen to me! lol
