I doubt it. That'd be ridiculously petty.

on the new tubed tyres.

Tubed? Really? I'd be very surprised. Or are they VERY old wheels which
can't be used tubeless?

2012 BMW 1 series. Yes tubed. Car came as new with a toy 12v
compressor and aerosol repair kit

That isn't the correct kit for a tubed tyre.


I assume that is the root cause of the OP - the OP (or previous car
owner) has had tubes fitted (somehow) since they (like many) dislike the
"no spare needed" mentality of modern manufactures. When turning up at
a tyre depot in this configuration the OP has had a disagreement with
the management.

A tubeless tyre with a nail or screw embedded in the tread can often carry on as
normal for months. With the same type of debris a tubed tyre will go flat in
seconds.

Is Hucker banned from Kwik Fit?

Do parrots eat holes in tyres?

Do BMW have a speciale needs division to cater for awkward parrot owning ****s?
