By the way, when I enter my VIN, I get nothing at all. Doesn't build confidence.

You have a place in the US, correct? Maybe you should buy your next car there and just drive it to Canada. See if the government will let you register it there. Should be interesting.
I don’t blame you for being angry. I would be too. It’s ok to vent here. |

Thanks natahoa.
AndroidRobot, unfortunately I am unconvinced that the part you've identified would fit over M Sport brakes. On closer inspection, it is listed as a 19" rim and from all other indication, even full size rims below 20" will not fit over those brakes. Have you ever tried yours on?

perhaps someone else with the spare tire kit and M Sport brakes can chime in on this.

Update on Pirelli Canada original equipment road hazard warranty claim and handling: after 9-10 weeks and constant prompting and escalation by my dealer, Pirelli came through and refunded the full amount of the replacement of the 2200km old punctured tire. That's a bit over $1000 CAD all-in, cheque just received (Pirelli compensate/refund the dealer, the dealer then refunds me). I didn't get any sense that the ridiculous delay was due to any claim-related hesitation, only that Pirelli claim process is grossly inefficient and thus just takes a very long time to get through the bureaucracy. Not happy with delay, but happy (as essentially always) with my dealer and with Pirelli for standing behind their claims.

Today I received low pressure warning for rear left tire and found an screw in my one and half years old (20,000km) Pirelli RFT tire. As you see in the pic, it is inside the central tread. Ive got an appointment with my dealer for next week but based on your experience do you think if it can be repaired or if I have to replace the whole tire? if it's repairable who do you recommend in GTA?

I am in Waterloo and unfortunately have no suggestions for GTA. Strictly speaking, I don't really have any suggestions in Waterloo either (no one is particularly bad, but no one stands out as exceptional).

Your decision will depend on wear, drivetrain warranty considerations if ultimately not matching all 4 tires' circumference, cost tradeoff of shaving one vs replacing all 4, and how long you plan to keep the car. In this thread, I didn't have any such issue since my replacement was at only 2K km on the tires with basically no wear, but your situation is different.

They ride like shit
They sound like shit They are expensive as shit They don't handle worth a shit They don't work worth a shit I drove 6 hours home from the dealer on Runflats, and had a set of non-RFTs waiting on me in my garage..... which were on the car about a week after I bought it. The RFTs are still sitting in my basement.... with about 500 miles on them, and I hope I never have to put the POS's back on my car. |

I dislike runflats but am also in Canada... so what can I do? I did pick up a run a d tire warranty from the dealership at a slight discount when I bought the car because I live in an area with a lot of houses being built. If I have to replace a couple of inflated it will pay for itself (I have contis, not Pirellis). If I’m lucky I’ll pick up a few screws as the tires near their end of life...
Lexi, the 19” is the right spare. It fits over the sport brakes. I’ve confirmed that through a few sources. I just don’t want to spend the $1k or so on it plus shipping. Maybe after I can travel to the US and avoid shipping charges. I hate not having a spare tire. I feel naked without it. |

If they were non RFT , because of the position of the nail they would definitely be repairable here in the UK.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why RFT are not repairable. I never knew this. |

According to manufacturers, the internal structure of the tire is designed to crumple and get wrecked in a way that provides enough of a tire-like experience for a set distance. So, basically, once you drive on it when you have a flat you wreck the internal structure. The tire could likely be patched and reinflated but would not work well as a run flat.
That being said, I have heard of people patching runflats. I would assume repairability is dependent on how much internal structure degradation there is. I also assume that manufacturers say they cannot be repaired because they don’t want the liability of it not working after a repair (sort of like when you drop a bike helmet.) |

Awesome sauce! Did you have to get a new trunk tray to secure the spare, or is it loose but not making noise?
Please keep me in mind if you ever sell your car... I don’t know how much luck I’ll have with dealers in Ottawa (probably none... they aren’t known for being helpful.) |
