Stimpy Report post Posted December 14, 2018 Just took my right rear to Discount Tire for a nail repair and they destroyed the tire trying to break the seal. They said it was because it stuck to the refinished paint on the wheel. So I need at least one new tire, but would go ahead and do all 4 if I could find them. Tirerack says they are out and Pirelli says they are in backorder, so hoping someone knows of some in stock somewhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouleur Report post Posted December 15, 2018 We might have them in stock, what size are they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy Report post Posted December 16, 2018 Thank, Rouleur! It’s the front and rear sizes in the attached picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy Report post Posted December 16, 2018 Here's a pic of the damage. They said the tire was stuck the wheel, but given how close the large tear is to the treads, I think they simply weren't paying attention and placed the bead breaker too far away from the bead. They aren't arguing about paying for a new tire, so it doesn't really matter. The only thing I will need to replace the other side because I don't want a disparity in rolling diameter between left and right.
