My Metzeller Sportec M5
now with a Philips Screw in it.
This tyre is a very nice tyre, good to corner with, very grippy in dry days and gave me alot of confidence to go down really low in corners. While in wet, it has not given me any problems as of yet. Even thou the tyre has not given me any problems in the wet like skidding or fish tailing i still cannot gain confidence because of a fall i had with my previous rubber - call it my phobia.
now my favorite rubber which cost me $320 front and rear has a philips screw stuck in the rear tyre and my heart aches alot. Gases is sipping out slowly which confirms it has fully penetrated the rubber. With all the precautions that i took to avoid landing myself in this scenario it still did happened.
MURPHY I HATE U.
--Updates--
removed the screw and patch the hole for 5bucks at SPC, cheaper then i had expected..
so how did this countersunk philips screw managed to get into my rubber at the perpendicular angle?
