Just on of those curiosity questions.......im assuming a Police stinger is fairly useless against the newer cars that have run flat tyres?
Any thoughts?

Well.....sort of....ish.
If said thieving (censored - Ed) keeps driving 'like he/she stole it' then the tyres will overheat and shred once punctured and the handling will go to
as all four wheels will be failing together. So yes it works, but takes a little longer than with a normal car.
At least, that what I would expect to happen.....

Nah......we eat stingers and spit out the bits.. :spiteful:
Be one of them wimpy 3er 'rep mobile' things by the looks of it. I wonder if the key was cloned...
