Mollox Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 ....are great for making things with wood... ...not so good for driving over though Who leaves nails in the middle of the road??? Ended up with a slow puncture today..funniest part of it was i drove to a petrol station and tried to pump it up. But the machine was fecked and ended up completely flattening the tyre Can't believe how ignorant the staff were either But what made up for it was the fact that 2 other cars used the 'air' after me so there were 3 of us with flat tyres Driving around on the biscuit tin at the moment, why oh why do we get such a silly spare?? Almost forgot it was on today and went round a corner a bit too fast. ESP was off and boy did the car waggle! I am seriously pissed off about this nail. Was supposed to be at Stansted at 9:30 tomorrow, now i'm gonna be at kwik fit at 10 instead At least there's a bright side (tony) - if they can't fix my puncture, I'm gonna use the 'spare' REO40 til i can get an F1! rant over. I HATE nails. And i HATE space savers!! 2nd puncture on right rear in under a year as well :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted August 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Apologies for the rant... On a more productive note, what do people think of repairing a punctured tyre? Had my 6 month old Eagle F1 repaired this morning - it was a clear puncture (largeish nail) and they fixed it with a patch with a rubber point that they pull through the hole, seal and then cut. Is this tyre going to perform like a new tyre at speed and in cornering?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Its very strange, my F1s are very prone to punctures too.... I've had several repaired on them and i can still drive like a to55er and they cause no problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
