i have been thinking about punctures on cars done 80,000 in the capri with none and just had one lately in the range rover but apart from that I think that's it  even people at work seem to get them all the time I think I have come in to work once to find the big Iveco that is driven by a few diff people had a flat one morning and the PO does not let us change wheels on any thing bigger than a transit so didn't even get hand dirty changing that one  |

We were stopped from changing wheels 3-4 years ago & even in my little bipper I'm not allowed to change wheel, I had a punture a few months ago on a Saturday afreternoon 2.45pm & had to wait 2 hours for the RAC as wasn't allowed to change it, cheesed right off I was  |

I'm the same ! My care (fiesta) had one of those pump up kits to mend flats, I have a steel wheel & Jack instead now & gives me better piece of mind punctures are rare but happen & I would prefer a proper wheel in case of a flat.

when I mot'd the GPz last year, I thought it felt a bit strange - I put it down to damp cold roads and being out of practice.
When I got back to collect it "how did it do?" "oh, it was fine... once I'd put some air in the front tyre..."
(those tyres are 2006 Metzlers - I replaced them a fortnight ago now I'm riding to work. Fine in the dry, but horrible in the wet - and only 11 years old when I replaced them).
I've had deflated tyre on the front of the Duc too, it just handled soggily.
