Good evening gentlemen,

I'll see where the closest Michelin dealer is to me and inquire if they have some sort of warrenty. I have my invoices still kicking around in a file folder Manny so hopefully that will help. But I also have to wait until I get the tire off and to see if there is a puncture or a failure. I took as careful a look see as I could when the car was being hoisted onto the tow truck and couldn't see anything. My thought was that a piece or two of the tire had broken off and that is what made the holes and cracks in the fender liner but I'm not sure yet.

You're probably right, better to replace the tire than to repair it. No that I plan on hitting high speeds but..........I mean you don't see them slapping on a tire with a boot on a F1 car.

I hear some horrow stories about tire removal (the nuts) on these cars too - any comments or suggestions??

I ordered the inner fender plastic piece today and it should be here in 10 days. It was only $200 plus shipping too so that was not too bad.

Ya, never a dull moment in my life as much sometimes as I wish there was some!!

Cheers,

Garry

[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 84149, member: 1318"] Good evening gentlemen, I'll see where the closest Michelin dealer is to me and inquire if they have some sort of warrenty.
