Tyres

[Alfie]

Hi,

9500 miles in and the Coop. needs two new front tyres.

I am deciding to go for non runflats, cause they seem to wear out easily and are unnecessairly expensive.

Has anyone else done this? Other than having no spare tyre to help you out, are there any disadvantages? Will it affect the warranty? Will it affect road handling to have runflats on the back and not the front?

Does that emergency Tyreweld stuff work?

Heard the handling / ride improves no end when you dump the run flats.

Tyreweld will work on small punctures... but it only works to a point, hole to big then no use. Also if you use it sometimes you have to bin the tyres as the goo tends to be hard to remove and hence makes puncture repairs hard.

Why not go for some Slime (http://www.slimesealant.com/) in the tyres, save the hassle of Tyreweld.

I use it on the bike, as it doesn't have run flats or a spare wheel
