Hey guys, I just got my MINI last friday, love it! best decision I've made ever! I need to take pictures and post em, its an 08 S in dark silver, JCW aero kit, black housing driving lamps, il post pics...well this morning my tire pressure warning light goes off, I get to work and I see th head of a screw in my left rear tire. I have all the warrantys and tire coverage, should I just take it to MINI? Its all covered right? Just wanted to make sure before I went. any advise, warnings lol, just a bit nervouse, first new car thanks i advance!

 

Runflats? Is it a fast leak? I'd check the pressure and air it up now. If you have tire coverage by Mini, take it there ASAP. Don't mess around with a leaky tire.

 

I have run flats, leak is not fast at all, screw is still in there. I saw it when I got to work, I dotn get out till 5 so idk what I'm going to do...

 

If there is a discount tire near you and the screw is in the tread and notthe sidewall, they should be able to repair if for free. The dealership, at leasat in AZ, is not authorized to repair, just replace.

 

screw is in the tread. Is that something I should consider? repair of a run flat? or should I just get it replaced? either way its free right?

 

Call the dealer and see what they say.

 

thanks guys, i did call and I have to bring it in, they'll take care of everything

 

And there you have it folks, another satisfied NAM customer! Amazing advice we give out, eh? -*
