after 7,000 miles (11,200Km) got my first puncture, a screw too close to the shoulder to repair . I'm on a maintained contract so was told to use ATS (a large UK tyre co) but they need 2 days to get anything of this size in stock (not the fact its a Toyo, to get any brand 225/55/18/98H in stock). Out of interest, I checked a few other tyre companies for immediate in stock and was surprised to find so few stockists. Most quote 48hr to get in stock.
Given it only has foam repair and no spare wheel, I was surprised at lack of UK stock and thought I'd flag to fellow forumites. Drove back (slowly!) from tyre shop with screw still in tyre and now busy altering logistics over the next 2 days to minimise car use. :-(
Anyone else had a problem with off the shelf/immediate stock? (not internet order, immediate as in same day)
