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.

Thanks for quoting that. I needed the laugh.

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?
