stanski Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 well its done 700 miles with this little (big) bugga in - fingers crossed I dont need a new tyre! Find out tomorrow! Do you like the Black disc wheel look on a Zed roadster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Where abouts in the tyre was the screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomfry Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Bet the traction control kicks in loads with that spacesaver on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Its just in the last rain channel running length wise before the edge pattern starts - cant remember how far from the centre the limit is? Hmm dont intend to use it with the space saver - at least its not custard yellow as they usually are!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomfry Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That should be repairable. As long as it's not near the sidewall they can normally plug it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 That should be repairable. As long as it's not near the sidewall they can normally plug it. Thats what I am hoping for there is a measurment from the centre of the tyre but I cant remember what the ruling is - if they start to be funny with me I will go elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thats what I am hoping for there is a measurment from the centre of the tyre but I cant remember what the ruling is - if they start to be funny with me I will go elsewhere There is a measurement, but its based on the width of the tyre. They will have templates that they offer up to the tyre and tells them if they can plug it or not. Sounds like you might be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Spacesavers look awesome! Hope it's repairable Stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Spacesavers look awesome! Hope it's repairable Stan. I know thinking of buying another 3 in black - black tint the windows and ditch all the chrome on it!! Then get a red strip (A Team stylie) what do you think?? £17 in the end - fixed and balanced (credit crunch prices are deffo up!) Rolling again....

bronzee Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Bet the traction control kicks in loads with that spacesaver on. No it doesn't. You are recommended not to travel above 80kms/50miles per hour so not really an issue, apart from being a skinny little tyre in comparison to the stock size. Last puncture I had was a 5 inch builders nail, straight in, back tyre. Hope your tyre is ok Stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loafer77 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Ha , snap! I had almost exactly the same thing yesterday Luckily mine was fixable for the grand sum of £14.38. Driving with the space saver was actually not bad at all surprisingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMS14 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Repair must be in the middle 2 thirds of the tyre. Thats the legal requirement. Love to see these templates though, eve as a Pirrelli Gold dealer I never came accross these. I wonder where they got invented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
