OK, was not looking forward to having to post this thread. I have had my 2022 M3P since the end of February and I am on my 3rd flat. I have had a total of 1 flat in the preceding 12 yrs in my Tacoma, when I took it off road, in 2010.
Done with this. First flat was going past a huge accident, with glass spewed across the highway, and slow leak. Second was a huge nail, about a month ago, and finally yesterday I got a warning light on the way to work and my pressure was down to 26#. Thankfully I was only a few miles from the house and was able to go home and swap vehicles. This morning pressure was down to 23# and when I took the tire off the car I found a 1" metal brad in the tread. I have been blessed that all three incidences occurring while either I was close to home or home and I was able to remove the tire and either fix it myself or have it repaired.
I know these cars are heavy and anything on the road will potentially be a foreign body in the tire, but did I mention I am DONE....
I have decided that the Uberturbine wheels and 20" tires are the devil. Call it bad luck or time catching up with me, but I am DONE....So I am looking to find a wheel/tire size that will be a bit more amenable to handling the garbage of the road, but I am uncertain if 18 or 19 inch is more accommodating.
Looking for some guidance as far as road comfort, noise and the ability of the tires to handle road trash.
@TSportline any recommendations?
Thank your for reading my rant.
