I love donuts. Mmmm blueberry cake donuts.... I should go get one. Thanks

I like the old fashioned ones without the hole pumped full of cream and jam. Argh the memories .

I hope you undo what you did today, really soon. What happened to your tire, so that this was made necessary?

That's the very first time I have seen the Stinger's space saver spare.

Your car looks gorgeous

Like the vid but hey no one has grass,WTF

I haven't really looked under the boot carpet. I just assume the spare is there. Never thought about checking it out. I actually did look for the net when it was mentioned on this forum. Found it too. Amazing things you learn on the Stinger forum.

I suppose its not the first thing you do when you get a new car. You don't really care about it until you need it.

But it's comforting to know it's there and properly inflated.

Tbh I don't really know what happened. I didn't get a tpms indicator driving home last night, and this morning i go out to the car and the tire is completely deflated. Called my trusty AAA roadside, they confirmed the tire wouldn't hold air and put on the donut. Drove it to the dealer since I'm a sucker and bought the tire and wheel protection, then went to work for the day since they didn't actually have a replacement tire in stock. Picked up the stinger after work and the paperwork says there was sidewall damage. Who knows what it really was.

As a side note and interesting tidbit: the stock tires are Michelin Sport 4, and the replacement they put on is a Michelin Sport 4S. I have no idea what the difference is.

The tire sidewall was defective. So, you're good now. The PS4S is the common replacement for the PS4. I don't think that there is any difference in how the car will handle. The tread pattern is compatible.

He would have gotten a blister by now if something was in his boot

 

[RedCal]

Best as I can tell they are either the newer version of the 4, or its just the 4S is available in bigger sizes than the 4, and the 4S looks to be a little better performer

I'll translate he should have looked up the Elephants nose

Look further down and you'll find a battery to.

Now that you've go it cleaned up and looking good you could do a DIY ceramic coating.

Ceramic coating? I am not sure how a fired clay finish can be applied to car paint.

How about you Google ceramic coating for cars before you reply like that?
