Is there a flat tire solution for car tires?

Porsche Maintenance Costs

tire puncture

Our Panamera, almost three years since delivery, has had three flat tires so far.The second time, there was a nail stuck in the front wheel., ,The third time, the tire has deteriorated and is slowly leaking air from where it was previously repaired.This was due to the fact that(On the third puncture, the tires were replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.)

Then the other day, when I started the Panamera, the air pressure error was displayed again. And it's the right front wheel again...

I then looked at the air pressure deviation and found that, unlike the usual flat tire, all four tires were losing air pressure.

I emailed my husband just to be sure.

This time, the air pressure was about the same in all of them, so it may have just spontaneously drained out. If you are worried about it, why don't you take it to Porsche Center?

He said.

I have heard that when you are about to say goodbye to your beloved car, some part of the car suddenly breaks down.We'll be saying goodbye to the Panamera soon.I wondered if I had offended the Panamera... I was worried if it had been a flat tire, so I decided to have it looked at at the Porsche Center just in case.

I told them the situation, made an appointment, brought in my Panamera on the day, and waited while sipping the iced tea they served me.

This time it was not a flat tire, just a loss of air pressure. There is no need to rush to take your drink, so please take your time.

He informed us that he would be happy to help us.

Oh well... good!

I'm glad I brought my car right away. It's a relief to have someone actually take a look at your car. In the end, I had all four tires inflated and went home, but I felt a bit sorry that it was like drinking tea for free (sweat).

Devices to prevent tire punctures

I usually try to be a little more aware of what I am doing to keep my tires from going flat.

For example, a nail stepped on by a car in front of me flew into the air.Keep an appropriate distance between cars to avoid stepping on that nail with the front wheels of your car.andAvoid getting too close to medians, zebra zones, etc. when turning rightin Tokyo(I've heard that sometimes nails and rocks fall down.)...But all the punctures I've had have been on the right front wheel, so maybe it's not as effective as I'm aware of it. w

Also, that you should drive in a way that makes your tires last as long as possible.No sudden acceleration by suddenly stepping on the gas pedal when starting off.I try to be careful to steer as smoothly as possible when turning a curve so as not to put too much stress on the tires, but when a flat tire occurs, there is nothing I can do about it.

Incidentally, my husband, regarding the device to prevent flat tires.

I can't seem to consciously prevent punctures. I had a puncture once on my Boxster due to a nail in the rear.
Basically, a flat tire is aCases in which the front wheel rolls up a nail or other object and the rear tire steps on it.It seems that most of the
It is said that front tire punctures are often caused by pranks or by the front wheel stepping on a nail or other object rolled up by a car ahead, and the probability of a front tire puncture is said to be lower than that of a rear tire. The Panamera is a front wheel in both cases.Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's a four wheel drive and the front wheels have torque on them as well.I don't know.
I am anyway.I try to avoid zebra zones, roadside areas, and other areas where there seems to be a lot of dust and debris.I'm going to do it. I also avoid the backs of trucks and construction vehicles.
However, there are limits to what can be avoided, and since a flat tire is bound to happen at some point, I focus more on what to do in the event of a flat tire than on preventing it. For example, I always carry a puncture repair kit and a jack when I go touring. (Only the GT3 has center-lock wheels, so it is impossible to repair a puncture on the road, so I have given up on that. I've given up on that.)

He said.

I see... As long as we drive a car, a flat tire is an absolute possibility, but we should be careful on a daily basis and be prepared to deal with it calmly when it happens.

    Good morning, Mina.

    >Then the other day, when I started the Panamera, the air pressure error was displayed again. And it's the right front wheel again...

    I had a similar problem before, and when I asked the dealer about it, he explained that no matter which tire had gone wrong, the air pressure error display would show an error on the front right tire (second picture in this article), and the actual problem with which tire would be checked on the air pressure deviation screen shown in the third and sixth pictures. I remember that.

    At the time, I thought it would be good if the trouble was cured and did not check the explanation in detail, so it is possible that my memory is wrong and I am not sure...

      Mr. Ishi.
      Thank you for everything.

      >No matter which tire is malfunctioning, the air pressure error display shows an error on the right front tire and

      I see!
      I really wondered why it was always right in front of me.
      I'm glad it wasn't a flat tire this time, but I hope the rest of my days will be puncture-free.

  2. 991 treeing package with almost identical specifications

    I used to drive a GL550 and suffered from frequent punctures. It was not an air pressure problem, it was a glorious nail in the coffin. I was grateful for the firm notification. I believe they were all right front wheels. The emergency call saved me with replacement service at highway SAs and gas stations, etc. I also had two air pressure problems with my GT3, but neither was a flat tire. I had to go to a gas station to get the tires changed while watching the monitor because the dealer was closed due to the Corona disaster. However, it is important to always inspect the tires because they protect our lives. I would also like to refer to the distance between vehicles.

      >Emergency calls saved me with replacement service at SAs on highways and at gas stations when refueling.
      Mercedes has such service!
      That is convenient and secure.

      >I have had two air pressure problems with GT3, but neither was a flat tire.
      I see! Good to know.
      I will also be more aware of air pressure on a regular basis.
      (I've never inflated a tire by myself yet, so I'm thinking I should be able to do that too...)

    Good evening, Mina.

    I feel that punctures are difficult to avoid even when drivers are aware of them.
    Especially at night, you can't see it.

    Our M only looks at the rotational difference, so we have to measure and see which one it is in the first place.
    Therefore, an air gauge and air inflator are essential.
    The jack is not originally included, but I purchased it.
    However, this is troublesome because it can turn on quite often even if nothing is happening.
    It comes with a factory puncture repair kit, but it won't help if it rips.
    I always check to see how much of a towing contract is attached to the insurance policy.
    As I recall, insurance now covers up to about 350 kilometers.

    Once a nail got stuck between the treads in the Northeast, and the tire store in the neighborhood.
    No one stocks such a large size, so I went to a store called Study, which is famous for BMW
    was in stock and I have had it transported over 150 kilos to Sendai.

    And I once had a flat tire in the middle of the night and had to have it carried from Gunma to my home. lol
    I have another set of wheels back home, but I was told they would arrive under warranty.

    So an insurance towing contract is a last resort, but not a run flat with no spare tire.
    I think it is essential for the car.
    I'd rather not be useless.

    It's about time the GT4 doesn't come with a jack, so I asked about the price of a stock one and was surprised to hear it's quite a bit more!
    Today I am wandering around Yahoo! Auctions, etc.

      I see!
      It's still fine if you notice a flat tire near your home, but if you get a flat tire while you're on the road or touring, it's not a good idea.
      It's pretty tough...

      >I asked about the price of a stock jack since the GT4 doesn't come with one, and I was surprised to hear that it's quite expensive!
      >Today I am wandering around Yahoo!
      The GT4 and GT3 jacks, stock, seem pretty expensive... but just in case.
      I still want to keep it in the car, and every time I hear my husband's or your stories, I realize how expensive it really is to maintain a sports car;

    My GTS is center-locked too, so yes.
    I thought the center lock wheels would be tough to repair on the road, but there is an adapter for the center lock in the plastic cover on the upper right side of the front trunk, as I recall.
    I took the cover off once to check. I think there was something in the left side as well... lol

    So, you can properly change a tire anywhere, even if it's not at Porsen!

      Thank you for your valuable information!

      I'll check ^^.
