Re: Best tyre fix ??
Ring round local tyre places and see if anywhere will repair em, I phoned around about 10-15 places locally and only one did them so it pays to ring around.
Alternatively you can do a temporary repair yourself and they've been known to last the lifespan of the tyre, but not sure if I'd personally be comfortable with that really |
Re: Best tyre fix ??
Some bike tyre places won't repair tyres of a certain speed rating which yours probably is so I'd second the ringing around thing.

135 mph is a bit fast though isn't it. Don't answer that.
I don't come on here to lead people up the garden path. Do me a favour and tell me the speed rating of your tyre. |
Re: Best tyre fix ??
Yeh if it's ZR rated which it probably is then most places won't touch it, but as I said I did find one place that would.

Re: Best tyre fix ??
If I have translated your post correctly, you have a nail in your relatively new tyre?
Been there done that: http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...Photo-0132.jpg My advise, change the tyre take the hit on the wallet. I would only ever treat a repair as a temporary get me home fix. I would not risk the chance of failure. |
Re: Best tyre fix ??
Eh?! Blimey I didn't expect that. Even on the treaded area?

Re: Best tyre fix ??
As long as its not damaged the inside .Thats more likely if you went any distance with the thing flat.& not close (within 25mm)to the side wall. A plug and patch will hold it.
Its finding some place to do it for you that is the diff bit. |
