My unlucky day of 2014

In the morning as I reversed my car, I heard some noise at the rear tyre...sounds like a flat tyre but not quite like it. I when out to check, found the rear left tyre was deflated but still manageable to drive to the nearest petrol station to fill up with some air.

The tyre shop open for business at around 9am, I spend a good hour for breakfast while waiting for it to be open, fortunately I was their 1st customer of the day.

We found a piece of metal protruding on the surface of the tyre, the damage is quite bad.

That piece of metal looks like a hook, must have hit it while on the highway back home yesterday night.

Found a replacement tyre from Dunlop with thread wear 200, 225/40/R18, price at RM380. May not be as good as Toyo but since it will be place at the rear..it make no different with the handling.. only different here that it has softer compound and quieter as compare Toyo having thread wear of 300.
