I had a slow leak in my rear blizzak ....

Thanks for the replies. I talked to the Porsche stealership parts dept. and they do not have the key/socket replacement that I needed. They say you have to go to McGards to get a wheel lock kit.They have these keys in their shop but of course they are not going to loan them out.

There is no parts number on the key socket. So I have ordered two snow tires(Pirelli sottozero) from my indy shop and they are going to look after the removal of all the security key lugnut bolts and replace them with the regular lugbolts.

So I think that cold weather makes it hard to remove lugbolts.

All this because I ignored a slow leak in a tire which led to a flat tire, some minor damage to a rim and ended up damaging a tire which cannot be fixed. Better that this happens in my own garage than in the middle of nowhere.

Cheers, G.
