I was finally able to get to the mountains today and hit some fun roads. We definitely have some great driving roads in the NC mountains. It was fun until the rear passenger tire started losing air and I made a run to add air and hope that it would hold long enough until I got home. Unfortunately that didn't last long as the tire flatted shortly after that. Car only has 1400 miles so I must have picked up some debris and punctured the tire.

It was over a 6 hour ordeal with Porsche Road Side Assistance. If anybody gets into this situation make sure you bypass the auto mode that tries to locate you by GPS and set everything up via your phone. You'll lose your mind on the side of the road doing this as opposed to talking to somebody live. Even after getting somebody live they sent a flat bed that was in no way equipped to flatbed a GT3. The driver was more concerned with me signing a damage waiver than trying to get another flat bed or help in anyway. I obviously refused signing that and the flatbed as car would have been mangled on both ends to make it on the flatbed. That was 2 1/2 hours without any progress.

I ended up talking to PRA again and was pretty specific on what was needed and how the car was very low. I thought I was pretty clear before when I talked them and hence why I'm hoping to save you some trouble. They need to contact the towing company and find out if they are equipped to handle low profile cars and have the ramps to accommodate the car. Not little pieces of wood but extended race ramps along with all sorts of pices of wood...

The second flatbed came about 3 hours later and was equipped properly but it was still a lot of work. We finally got the car to the dealer after 6 plus hours after the tire went.

I know there is a lot more bigger issues going on in the world today but if this can save you some time and get you home quicker it'll be worth it.

Can you not use a slime kit on centerlocks?

Porsche slime kit takes about 20 minutes to fix a flat.

GT3 does come with the slime, afaik (I know my GT4 did). Never tried it myself...

There is a can of VW fix a flat in the trunk but I was past the point of sealing anything with the way my tire went. Since I had some time to do some reading I did look at what the solution that was offered versus conventional methods (spare/donut). My thinking was it was good if you had a slow leak, had some time and weren't on the side of a highway. But for a blowout it wouldn't have sealed. I think all of that was in place to alleviate people that wanted to have some option versus nothing. I can attest it's not really an option at least for my case.

Late add to this thread: I’ve had two flats in the last 2 1/2 months - a blowout and a fast leak. Both flats were the rear passenger tire while on the highway. After spending hours with PRA, I’m now questioning the daily drivability of this car. How common are flats on 911’s? I e owned other Porsche’s and M cars, haven’t had a flat in over 10 yrs. bad luck or is this my new reality with 12 inch wide low profile tires?

Bad luck. Last week I picked up a screw in the right rear (Blizzaks) of my dd. Screw stayed in and wasn’t leaking. Had it repaired. It happens...
