Smile Just about to go for a drive and ......

got a screw in one of my rear tyres

So much for going for a drive with the roof down.

Just did a quick phone round to a few local tyre suppliers, can get a pair of RE050MZ Bridgestones for

Same happened to me a couple of weeks ago, no tyre stocks locally. Pumped tyre weld in, not really believing in the products ability and was amazed. Fifteen minutes and straight back out again!!! New tyres fitted within the week from Event Mobile just in case.

My partner tells me that both she and her daughter have run tyres for over a year on the stuff without any problem.

Happened to me in my golf a couple of weeks back, luckily the local garage had just done a full service & repaired the tyre (as it was in the middle of the tread & the tyres are bog standard) for free instead of charging a tenner.

Drove up from London to Leicester - all the way with top down.

Sheer bliss
