I just bought a new a4 s-line, b7.

In the past two weeks I had a blow tire and bent rim.Two days later I hadnail in my back wheel. Last night was my friends birthday and we where going to club Bliss in clifton, nj. He just picked up a new G35 all-wheel drive(306hp).It is not that fast of a car...he could not pass me as we where going at it from 30 to 100...I think Iput a little dent in his ego....I was totally amazed... So once we where done messin around, we are driving there and I told my friend I feel a vibration...he did not feel it...anyway...I was going about 80mph, sowe pull up to the club I get out and I have a flat!!!the same tire that I pluged up a week ago blow out...I was riding on thistire to work for about a week...and last nightIm ridingon that tire for miles...

Questions:

Should I get this same tire fixed?

Is my rim bent or messed up?? That will mean I have two messed uprims...

Should I just buy a new tire?

Yup, what Dave said. The rim is bent so get replace it too...I thought the G35 was a quick car. Do you have a 3.2 or 2.0?

Hmm, I would say that you compromised the integerity of the tire with the plug.... probably couldn't handle 100+mph. You should replace that tire with a new one if you're going to be drivingthatfast.

plugging tyres from a picture is now illegal in the UK and for a very good reason ( its unsafe ), I used to do it years ago and was ok with the old radials now things have moved on $$$$£££££ did you know you cant repair a motorcycle tyre regardless if it was fitted yesterday really p***ed me off because I just replaced mine and today got a puncture[:@]

Just so you know.... A G35 kills a stock B7, in 0-60 and 1/4 mile........ soooooooooooooo........


A4 B7 Audi - Acceleration 0-60: 7.1 seconds

Infiniti G35- Acceleration 0-60: 5.6 seconds and 1/4th mile 13.9

The A4 wil lose in both categories my friend.... So either

a) Your friends a terrible driver
b) Theres something wrong with his car
c) You cheated?
