tyre insurance.

sounds like false economy! Unless it's extremely cheap - what are the chances of you getting a puncture? Then what are the chances of you getting a puncture that you can't repair. It can't be that great surely?
Do they even do it?

Just buy a puncture repair kit

quite high so it seems, im on my second in under 12 months!

[Dave20046]

Badluck man - in 5 years of riding I've only had one and I think it was there before I bought it!
*touch wood*

Were they in the sides or something so you couldn't plug them?

both tears one from a stone one from swaf. i work in engineering so have been told "its a hassard of working here" arses!

[Dave20046]

I'd just like to apologize about being skeptical of the frequency of tyre mishaps, two punctures in the same tyres since that post!

Serves you right

I haven't had a tyre go the full length yet, always to a bloddy big nail or summat. Last one on the Vrap went 8 miles....thank god for Avon guarantee
Last SV one was for very interesting roundabout manouevres indeed

worried the karma is out to get ya?

Do I win anything for getting 2 in 4 days? Pulled a screw out on Tuesday got the tyre plugged only to leave work on Friday with a shard of glass stuck there and a completely flat tyre. Getting avons fitted 2moz but Jesus these tyres are only 2 months old. Grrrrrrr

Dan- yeah you win! I had an impressive screw the first time - plugged it, second one was a 3/4 of a stanley blade near the sidewall. Somehow managed to plug it (in the rain + dark) and nurse it to a tyre fitters!
