Ford Mondeo zetec 140 estate - low profile tyres - nala7

I recently bought a Ford Mondeo , with a style pack 18 inch wheels with 40% height profile , within the last two weeks I have had two punctures in the side walls. One in side and one out side on same nearside rear wheel. Anuone else had problems ? Are low profiles more prone to these kinds of damage ?

Low profile tyres seem to me to be very sensitive to tyre pressure and lose pressure very easily. Therefore check VERY regularly. Driving on anything other than billiard table smooth tarmac gives them a very hard time and knocks yer teeth out. Therefore you get high bills for both tyre replacement and dental treatment.
