punctures - on one side more than the other???

Post by joelt »

just wondering if anyone reckons punctures happen on one side of the car or another more? i.e. does the passenger side cop more punctures cos you can't see/judge that side as well as the drivers side?

the reason i'm asking is i have pedes x4 but now need a spare and as pedes are directional, wondering if i'm better off mounting it on the rim for one side or the other.

cheers

If you've got Simex (Pedes) say good-bye to most of the punctures. Most common will be rolling off the bead. Ive got a Simex spare, but it has never been used. If I do, I figure it will still be better fitted backwards than a mud tire. Your call.
