OMFG , I have just read every page of this thread , proper cheered me up ,i am really looking forward to seeing this dyno print out . lol
Seat leon FR 170bhp CR TDI Tuning Twin channel Box
- Thread starter FlameRevenge
- Start date
Despite a tuning box sounding like something more suited for a musician than a petrol head, i am optimistic we will see 221bhp and at least 90mpg during the run 
This is the same person who reckons he drove for 10 miles on a flat Pirelli and didn't damage his 'allows' .......
Yes that's correct, I am the same person, unless you have a Pirelli P-ZERO-ROSSO-Asimmetrico then please try and prove me wrong.
Ok ok guys I know you are all waiting for the rolling road results I'll update it on here once the results come in, you just have to be patient lol
I've had two. Both punctured. With the one in the time it took me to slow down after getting said puncture the tyre had already rolled off the bead and the rim was damaged. So, unless you have some very special rims or the tyres on 19's behave differently to others I find it very hard to believe that the tyre stayed fully seated and driving 10 miles cause absolutely no damage whatsoever. Was the ten miles in a straight line? At what speed? In any case, why the hell would you want to drive any distance on a flat tyre? You'd be a risk to yourself and others.
After your ten mile ride did you then inflate the rim and continue on your merry way?
P.s I'm not about to test your 'story' either.

Mine are 17" and once the light came on I kept driving until I could stop, checked it could hear the air leaking, was really low and the area I stopped wasn't conducive for stopping so I drove it to the nearest Tesco it was only 6psi in the tyre or 6 bar not sure what ever reading the pump has lol, pumped it up it was just leaking so I drive it to a side dead end street with lights on before changing it to a space saver.
There is a big difference between 6psi and 6 bar ( about 80psi ) Either way, your tyre wasn't completely flat hence the reason it stayed on the bead and sealed. the vast majority of other decent tyres would cope the same. With 17's your sidewall would be slightly deeper than 19's.

Lol that's true that's why I said I forgot which units the pump at Tesco uses lol, on the other hand your right maybe most tyres could have handled it, but in my case thaw tyres did, and am great flu the rims where no damaged lol
I notice you have the cupra r, what do you think I might be getting a cupra when I get a proper job since ave about to finish uni, should I get the new cupra R with 280bhp and get it to over 300bhp or just get the old cupra r with 260bhp?
Driving anywhere knowing you had a flat tyre is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and anyone with any common sense would know that if your tyre would never be inflated to 6 bar. And you say your at Uni? I hope your not studying English language because I can't understand most of what your saying.

Did you even read the post? Or did you just glance it over and jumped to your own conclusion??? Please read the post properly before jumping to conclusion.
Jump to what conclusion? The fact that you have no idea what the difference between psi and bar is or the fact you are illiterate?
