Nail in tyre

[Moomin_Man]

After a nail in my tyre, took the 133 in for a tyre repair but found that the placement of the nail meant a replacement tyre was my only option.
£100 inc VAT for 1x Conti Sport Contact 3
Never realised how expensive they were!

Including fitting? Cos that's quite cheap for them!

I was going to say that's fairly cheap normally they're £130 or something like that

Right where is this place, as I need my tyres fitted there

Sucks that you've had to replace it due to anything other than being used, but

For CSC 3s fitted

Black Circles: £120
National:£137
etc. etc.

So I think you've got a good deal there.

Thats not too bad then. It's Budget Tyres and Exhausts Center in Carlisle.
They've looked after me in the past and I know there prices are good, I just didn't expect it to be so much lol
And yeah, fitting included.

Don't know if they deliver.
Bare in mind, Lez at the trye centre is an old family friend, and he has always gave me big discounts.

Not suggesting you have to but maybe you could have words about a forum discount? This way they might get more trade from forum members and local members may benefit. Just an idea I'm not trying to create offence.

I had the same once..

Noticed one of my tyres was losing pressure, faster than others but not fast enough to think there was a hole in it.

Then I hit a piece of wood that was on the road and it punctured my rear left tyre.

Went in for a repair (btw the sparewheel looks so stupid, dunno whose idea it was to make it red) and they could fix the wheel. Then I said they should take a look at my left front wheel because it loses pressure.

They said "oh its probaly nothing" but I asked to check anyway.

Apparently there was still a nail sticking in the tyre. Because it was still sticking in it was losing air but very slowely.

They could fix that as well, didn't had to pay for a new one.

Not long ago i went to swap my front wheels with the rears as the fronts were fairly worn and noticed a bulge on one. Went to get new tyres and the alloy with the bulged tyre was cracked. Had to be welded up, So as well as two new tyres i had to fork out for the alloy to be welded up as well.

Not something I'd do. With the back end being snappy freshest rubber on the back wear the fronts then rotate and new on the back

As recomended by all the major tyre companies
