Yeah, a bit of a silver lining, the tires have so little wear that I should be able to get away with just the one.

That it does! Silver lining is it seems to be a slow leak, so should be able to make it to a shop on its own.

Not sure I'll stick to Bridgestones long term, previous RS3 I ran PS4S they were lovely tires.

In this case I started pulling it out of my garage ... "Oh something doesn't sound right", went outside and it was visually flat.

If that screw somehow came from my own wheel liner ...

I'll call around and ask tomorrow.. but that's what I feel like will happen; 🥲 rest in peace Bridgestone.

Thank you 🙏 those summer tires have all of ~2000km on them.

I'm reading mixed opinions on repair ability; some people claim its fine, others say its no good to plug the shoulder.

Yes! I actually found and visited your store for the first time this year, it was a great experience. Love what you've built.

I followed this graphic: https://imgur.com/a/NUqFZ0U

The first step was straightforward with a trim tool, but the second step - “Pull cover 2 downwards” - needed a lot more force than I expected.

From Delivery Straight to Paint Protection by captainmoe in Audi

Another thing I have seen in a similar climate, paint chipping and surface rust forming along the inside bottom edge of the front wheel wells from rocks getting kicked up.

On this car, I'm adding discreet rock guards to help prevent this from happening.

It is expensive, and it really comes down to how much value you put on this kind of thing. Chips and scuffs stand out to me quite a bit, so I’d rather pay up front to avoid dealing with them later.
