Tyre Blues!
Man,
Bank holiday weekend, was going to go for a wee blast. Then I spotted a big feck-off screw in my rear tyre. Talk about putting a downer on it. I've been told I can't get a ZR rated tyre repaired, it's illegal. It's only got 1600 miles on it and 3mm tread left. |

Re: Tyre Blues!
There are places that will do it, if you're happy to take the risk I'd take the wheel into an independent tyre place.

Re: Tyre Blues!
I feel your pain! Same thing happened to me not so long ago. Did you cry when you discovered the screw. I did!!!

The worst that happens if the patch fails is that you get the same puncture again. As one of the SVRiders says, tyre patches aren't made of explosive I did, oh, 7000 miles with a patched Roadtec including 2 trackdays and, let's call it extended speed testing up the M6 But, personally I'd always get 'em patched from inside.

Cheers Northy,
That's making sense, I know my bruv got his R6 rear plugged and done 2 days at Rockingham, he done that same extended speed testing as yourself Next question then, anyone got any recommendations of a half decent, clued up tyre dealer that can sort me out? I am in Glasgowshire, but i'll use any excuse to get out on the bike. Cheers |
