Tyre

[FlashFunk]

Hmm got up this morning to find that i have a punctured tyre. Theres like a big long nail embedded in it.

Just wondering if any1 knows how much a replacement tyre is likely to cost? Wasnt sure whether to go through toyota or opt for a chaper garage.

I have a yaris 1.3 sr with standard sr alloys, and dunlop tyres. :hokus-pokus:

where abouts is the nail??

if its gone at right angles or there abouts through the tread pattern then take it to ya local tyre fitter and it can be repaired

however if its near or through the tyre wall then it is scrap and will need replacing

new tyre in my estimation will be £40ish, fitted and balanced

[FlashFunk]

yeah its prety muc all way throught the tyre wall - so i think it will have to be replaced.

The tyres are dunlop sport 9000 - and the information on them is " 195150ZR15" - Is that my tyre number that i will need to orer a new tyre??

Thanx for the help

[armacast]

Yea I agree new dunlop would be a little over 40 quid

[ricomr2]

yep thats the size of your tire... 195/50/zr15.

You dont need to go to toyota for it, any tyre place like kwik fit etc,

will be able to supply and fit a new one for you.

clcik on the tyre bible section.

I work at the caribbeans largest auto aftermarket retailer and needed to learn about tires after I kept getting accosted on the sales floor when I was doing various bits and bobs (even we in "management" wear the uniform) and i found this site very useful.

[FlashFunk]

Its my first car

[ricomr2]

you can have the tire delivered to you and fitted at most tyre fitting places for a small fee (about a fiver)

[FlashFunk]

[steve eames]

I have just changed my tyres to toyo and got them for £49 each balanced and fitted

[alanbradley]

Last year I bought a pair of new tyres for my old "S" - the R13 original equipment Bridgestones (I forget the exact size) cost £17+VAT

Might have got a bit of a discount there as the old man has a haulage company! ;)
