Big wheels with low profile tyres unfit for Britain's broken roads .
Good grief!
I'm amazed that the wheel is OK.
This is shocking! Has somebody contacted Pirelli on this? Does Tyre insurance policies cover it because it isn’t a sudden deflation? If they do I’m getting one
Why what will they do ?
Come fill all the potholes in the uk
No but do you see anybody with MPSS having this problem?
That's a good question, one answer may be that road users are being treated like mugs by these corporations, because that is what they are, they are doing business and are only interested in making as much money that they can get away with, high car tax, illegal parking charges, high toll charges, high fuel tax and a lot more, it's a massive money making racket not a service, every move they make is against the road users and not for them, if the road users don't do "exactly" as their told the corrupt system will come down on them like a ton of bricks, demanding money.Cars have to be road worthy
why dont roads have to be car worthy ? ? ?
So you mean I can spend £650 to change to Michelin tyres and I can drive thru every pothole safe in the knowledge I’ll not damage my tyres.........
No but it indicates a weakness in the Pirelli’s for pot hole damage, this is one owners club and there have been quite a few now in as many months.
The tyres should be withstanding it, odd one or two maybe but not half of the owners on here.
Youch !!! Glad you’re ok after that and no accident occurred as a result.
30 or 35 profile tyre ?

Not a pothole, but a ruddy bolt through my tyre. Do we think this is repairable where it is? It's a 255/30/20 that is like new, so I'm keen not to have to replace it!
All sorted, Kwikfit did the job. £25 much easier to swallow than £225!
No idea! I'll have a look in the morning and see what's what. Nice result though.What type of patch or repair?

You don’t know the size of potholes and the speed people are hitting them at though......
I’m pretty certain this forum represents only a fraction of UK RS3 ownership
It’s a bit difficult for any tyre, let alone a 30/35 series one to keep absorbing these sorts of impacts, also look at the Pirelli sidewall and how it’s angled back vs the practically 90 deg block sidewall of the Michelin tyre, I think this design, whilst offering good rim protection, doesn’t help much when driving on roads that look like the moons surface.........
These sort of tyres are designed for smooth roads, not to be continually bombarded by holes.
That’s true yes Just seems to be an issue with those on the P Zero RO2, maybe just me though.
Yes again true, just not an easy pill to swallow with near brand new tyres or worse when you have to change a pair.. any unexpected expense is an unwelcome one.
The UK roads are appalling. They are resurfacing a stretch of the M4 at the moment and it’s rippled like waves, the resurfacing is worse than the surface was before... why can’t anhthing be build / done properly these days! My 4 month old Karcher packed in the other day, my 10 year old one worked perfect after being sat for that length of time... things just aren’t built the same.
