flat tyre

Post by Stefsam »

GM, I have a pcx 150 2013
I finally changed my tyres yesterday to Michellen city grip rear and city pro front.
Since agent told me city grip front is not on production....
This morning... I after 1 km I released that front tyre was flat!
I had to turn back home and use car..
Any ideas?
I called tyre centre and asked me to inflate it again and call to him..

thank you.

Did you change them or the centre? Seems like a badly fitting valve, faulty valve or tyre not sat properly on the rim - assuming you do not have a puncture. You can got front city-grips!

thanks... I'll inflate and drive back slowly this afternoon. No, I did it at tyre centre.
tyre should be puncre resistant unless I was too unlucky!
the agent said front tyre was out of production and got city pro.

Sorry to hear that, it must be disheartening (to put it mildly) to have that happen. I would have thought with it being a bike and impossible to swap out a spare wheel, the shop would have come your way. That's a real inconvenience for you.
2010 Honda PCX 125 in Thailand (White) - "White Lightning" Sold in Sept 2017 :(

guys .. you will not believe this!
I had called the michellen agent to order city grip!
and he told he can offer city grip for the back and city pro for the front.
had no option.. I looked up city pro and they seem to be fine..
after fitting them and had this issue tyre cenre realized that city pro front type was tube type!!!
He put sealer around but I am uncomfortable to ride like this...
so I called agent and he said he 'll try and get me a replace... I was looking forward to start using the bike after a rainy winter!

I have a 2015 PCX 125 here in the UK. My dealer had no problem supplying me CityGrip's both front and rear and carried multiple ones in stock at the time.

I'm pretty sure Michelin still makes them. Doesn't make sense to use two different tires anyhow.
