Default Re: Best tyre fix ??

Joe, I appreciate that money's tight (been there).

It doesn't matter what speed your bike will do the tyre is Z rated, and this is what will cause discussion. Michelin are, I believe one of the few manufacturers who approve repairs of their Z rated tyres so that might help.

Someone near you will repair this tyre professionally. ANY repair that can be done without taking the tyre off the wheel is NOT supposed to be permanent, or used at high speed.

A repair will probably be about £20 from a tyre company, and the tyre's then safe to use until it's worn out.

I can't recommend putting in a temporary fix for any length of time.
