My 16 GSF (19,000 on the odometer) is temporarily a daily driver now. Its never seen rain until this week.....it rained ALOT this week. Top it off.....I had my 1st experience without a spare tire. I was leaving work in Century City area driving from Beverly Hills....going at a cruising speed on a wet road ofcourse. Passed through an intersection and hit something pretty hard. I was cringing....then noticed a slight pull in the steering. This can't be good....then my psi right/front tire was ZERO. I was like fawk......

pulled over the side of the road on Beverly Glen.....near Wilshire. I was ready to deploy the Lexus Sealant. Luckily i had a flashlight to inspect the tire and rim. Just my luck it was a sidewall puncture. Tow truck gave a 3 hour eta. I was holly ****....cmon...this can't be happening. Called AAA 3x.....and finally got a tow to come out to my location. I didn't get home till midnight....I was pissed.

1st the pain of having my GSF as a temp daily driver until my wife's Tesla arrives. So then i can driver her high mileage RX450h as a daily. Not only....but then getting a blowout due to the pothole. Apologies if I'm not making any sense......just trying my best to vent.....lol

I didn't go to bed until 2am thinking of what's my next move......tow from my house to the dealer? Do i have the proper tools to take the tire off the car myself and drive to the dealer just with the tire. I had the proper tools to do everything myself. I just had to buy a 13/16 deep socket when installing the wheel back on the car for proper torque etc etc. I paid $313 out the door for a new Pilot Super Sport.

Can anyone reply what's the Replacement equivalant to the Pilot Super Sport? is it the PS4 ? if yes the PS4.....do I go with 96y in the front or stick with the 92y ?
96y is better right? Any reply is appreciated.

I hope my wifes Tesla gets an early delivery of no Later than February......lol
I went to the dealer today and bought myself GSF all weather rubber floormats....lol
I can't wait to put my GSF back into the Garage......I never intended this car to be a daily driver......

 

On the towing issue, try RVRoadhelp, which is backed by Allstate. I’ve had excellent results with their response time and knowledgeable drivers. They’ll tow whatever you’re driving or riding to wherever you have to go to get repaired, period. No extra fees or mileage charges.

 

In an unfortunate turn of events, another GS F's tire is blown.
The PS4S will have more grip and according to some users will make the car more agile. The 92y weight rating means the sidewalls are softer than the 96y. A stiffer sidewall generally gives better steering feel and less outer shoulder wear when cornering hard.

 

thankyou..... 96y on my next set of tires

 

I also hit a small pothole couple of months back on i95, i was going about 65. The wheels and tires were ok but i started gearing a faint spund while turing left. It would be very subtle and only happen with a certain degree of wheel turn.
took it to dealer and turns out the wheel bearing went bad. They covered it with warranty.

check for wheel bearing aound too, its very common with the F cars
