Blown TIre
Well last night it happened :banghead: Hit a NYC pot hole the size of Texas and bye bye right front tire. I am not going to rant on Porsche thru at this message. However I will say just this one thing..... After calling roadside assistance it took them just over 2 hours to get to me, I find this totally unacceptable and frankly a total joke :grr: With that said just wanted to give you guys some pointers on using that tire sealant pump goo. First I would say don't bother it's a total waste of time. However if you are like me and going to try it anyway this is what I found. First of all line the tire up with the valve on the bottom of the tire. This will make pumping that useless goo into the tire much much easier. Second when reinstalling the tire valve be very very very careful to not turn it to tight!!! As soon as you feel the slightest bit of tightness in that valve STOP turning it. I did not and I ended up breaking the valve and once you do that you can't get it out with that .02 plastic tool they give you. As it has been said before only plug the pump into the cigarette lighter! Once that is done you will see the air hose and you screw that onto the tire stem. There is a power switch on the side of the pump that will turn it on. Make sure that the plastic bleed valve below the pressure gauge is closed.(so no air is leaking out of it) You want to inflate the tire until that gauge reads 2.5 bars. Do not run the pump for more than 10 minutes as this will over heat the pump. If you over inflate the tire, simply turn that bleed valve and it will slowly release air from the tire. So there you have it my horrible experience of last night. Hope this helps any of you if you ever find your selves with a blown tire.
