17" Pirelli Runflat - separated from rim and wall
Hit a pothole (actually a crater) tonight on New Hampshire Ave in Silver Spring, MD. Thought I broke my rim - turns out my rim looks ok but my 17" runflat didn't manage so well. It's got a bubble on the sidewall and part of the bead has pulled away from the alloy rim - I can actually peer inside and see the run flat sidewall.
Has anyone repaired a damaged tire like this or is it ready for the rubbish bin.
Incidently I ordered a set of 205/50 R16 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S from Tire Rack - for my stock Cooper S winter alloys.
