Puncture couple hours after fitting new tyres and wheels

<< < (2/2)

LC5F:
Yes - just get a pull through, doesn't look like there is that much tread, will they be OK by the time you head off to the ring?

Tyre places hate the roadside tyre puncture repair sealant stuff, in order to be able repair they have to wash it all out - they therefore push for new tyre.

OllieVRS:
Just an update, had my mechanic friend come over and he plugged it, 5 minute job and it's good as new! Even tested with soapy water on the plug after to check for leaks.

Put it through some roundabout and twisty backroads last night and it seems to be holding up well  :smiley:

Must be the photo angle, because I've done less than 100km on these tyres and I definitely didn't buy used ones  :grin:
