Stock 14" Yoko Aspecs for Jazz

[4thGenExi]

I've had my '07 Vti Jazz for about 8 months now, and so far I've had 3 flat tyres - each one a stock 14" Yoko Aspec. Anyone else find these tyres have a tendancy to puncture very very easily or am I just having really bad luck? :(

Oh and FWIW one could be repaired, but the other 2 had a spilt down the side wall which rendered them useless. I dont make a habit of hitting gutters or driving on rough roads.....

OEM tyres are sux..Just upgrade to some better tyres.

I've had mine for about a month and so far no probz. thought yoko's where a pretty good tyre...
i'll be upgrading mine very soon anyway, i've invested in some 17" rims with average tyres.

Do u have or drive past any building sites in your area? cuz i've found nails on the street in front of mine due to new houses being built across from mine...

i need a new tyre aswell. i was lookn at just replaciing with yoko a drive also ..

i was under the impression they are pretty decent tyre. needs replacing tho, coz it has a nail in it. and apparently can't be repaired.

tyres dont have tendencies to puncture lol.

either someone has been doin it to you, you are driving in areas with alot of contruction/road debris or you are just having a heap of bad luck

some tyres are harder than others, yokohama is one of the softer ones, but if its gonna happen its gonna happen,

Did the 3 flats happen at different times, or all together?

Are you sure it was not the rim or valve?

[4thGenExi]

Nah different times. Definitely sure its not the rim or valve... Must just be bad luck. The most recent one happened last Saturday night, and I did closer inspection of it. I'm 90% sure some @#$% took a screwdriver or something sharp to the side wall. Oh well, at least whoever did it decided not to scratch the car :)

I was told Yoko Aspecs were a pretty decent tyre as well.

[preludacris]

so what ppl recomend?

should i replace with A drive. i find they grip decently, and seem to last a while. mite ask taleb tyres for some price.

[TALEB TYRES]

is it a 175/65/14?
edit: got your post prel, i'll put up a thread for this size in my trader forum you can check

Called a few places and all said the same thing, the Aspec has now been superceded. Each person I talked to recommended an A drive instead
