Paul Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Can be repaired, depends on the position of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Tut tut, you shouldn't repair Y or Z rated tyres. I mean think about it, glue in a rubber bung that's a totally different typre of rubber to the tyre with different expansion rates on a 160mph+ supercar? Go figure.

Kn1ght Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 cheers guys, the other problem I have is the tread only has about 2 mm so they need changing, was going to order them from http://www.mytyres.co.uk only £150 ish just peas me off when I'm getting quotes of £220 instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3xt3r Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Never repair tires on a performance car! You can do that on a little shopping trolly or something but not something that can go that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. I think rubber and steel have different expansion rates and they happily co exist in a tyre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Mytyres are really good and a hell of a lot cheaper than buying locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I've had good prices from these chaps: Tyres & Exhausts Morley Britannia Rd Leeds West Yorkshire LS27 0AR 0113 238 1325 http://www.gordonstyres.co.uk - are pretty cheap too but I haven't used them.

RedM Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Gordons tyres are funny. If you compare that rubbish website to their latest outlet it's a world of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Its suggest here that even the police use this form of in situ tyre sealer/repairer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Its suggest here that even the police use this form of in situ tyre sealer/repairer Perhaps, but they're only rated to 130mph (v) rated tyres. Not much cop for a Z rated tyre over 160mph (despite the endorsement by Dunlop gmbh to 156mph) All I'm saying is, to use a repair on a Z rated tyre is a definate no no.

RobSheffield Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 you will have noted from my original post that i pointed out on my original post that im not happy running on it, i rarely ever breach 100 leptons anyway, even on good tyres, and the repaired one i dont think has seen over 70 as im just driving the mile to work and back at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 So what you are saying is "Martin, I've overcome my fear of the second turbo, the ungodly abomination that it is, and I will own your ass next time we are driving together". Am i right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 FYI Quick Farce will repair punctures for free. I am running the Nankangs on a repaired rear tyre thanks to a screw through it. I never go above 95 leptons as I like my licence intact. When I get the Goodyear GSD3's all round then I may invest some time in track days, but with the Nankangs it just aint worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
