Have you guys ever run your car over a plank of wood with nails on the road? Or maybe drove into an uncovered manhole?
Well here is what happened to me not long ago...
One fine morning, I was driving to work... All of a sudden, there's this tire explosion sound (Kapoop!) followed by reciprocating and repeating knocking sounds.... And my car was leaned to one side... S**t.... This has got to be tyre puncture... But what is the repeating knocking sound? You know what?
Since my office is just about 5 minutes away, so I didn't stop but drive all the way there slowly... Right in front of my office is a tyre shop.
When I went there and got down, wth? See what I found...
Some dude left this one the road... A thick bolt puncture through the thread of my rear tyre and went inside it. It then poke its way out of the side of the tyre...
The knocking sound was the protruding bolt hitting against my rear fender chipping off paint... Like this...
Continental was RM 200 for 195/55/R15 after max discount. So there's 2 other brand... Indonesian made Barum which is a subsidiary of Continental (RM 170) and local made Spectra (RM 160). Went for Spectra as the shop said it is quieter...
