Has google come up with many sources yet? Personally, I'm starting to see the tyre fitter's point. You didn't help. You just threw out groundless accusations about my ability to know whether or not the caps were un-removeable then futrher compounded your insults by implying I had probably damaged the stems by having at them with two pairs of pliers. All this and you follow up by stating you don't know me but that didn't stop you making un-warranted assumptions about my physical abilities and tool working skills. Bugger me. I'm only idly reading this and now I want to come round and superglue something solid just to annoy you. You need help, mate. And not with the valve caps. wipes tear of laughter away Thanks for quoting that. I needed the laugh. |

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? |
