Sod's Law...

My tin-top needs 2 new tyres (just ordered them, being fitted Wednesday).

Went out this morning and found that I had a slow puncture... in one of the 2 remaining good tyres!
It was fixable, thankfully.

Isn't it always the way?

Fingers crossed they aren't uber expensive run flats. i replaced one recently to get a flat in one of my better tyres! Not happy - but managed to get a pair of good ones off ebay.

if that were my car I'd get 2 punctures in the 2 new tyres within a week of fitting them

(its happend to me 4 times now )

It's a statistical fact that you don't get punctures in worn tyres, regardless of where you drive that nail/tack/sharp bump in the road will always aim for the tyre with the most tread on it...

Some poor sod at work today was having a mobile fitter put a pair of tyres on, and he's put the jack through the sump!

No, they're ordinary tyres - thankfully. My nephew has a modern Mini that needs 4 new run-flat tyres; they're roughly the same size as mine, but almost double the price...
