Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a careful, reliable and meticulous tyre place to have puncture repair WITHOUT scratching/damaging my painted wheels in the process of dismounting and remounting the tyre?

Cheers

Matt

No Jack,

I suspected that it happened a while ago, I checked the tyre pressure this morning and when I got home it lost a few psi. Then I inspected closely and there the nail was in the middle of the fat tread, DOH!

Fitted tyres in Rowville, but I just fear that they will damage the painted lip.

Hey Matt,

The tyre won't have to come off to have a puncture repaired, only the wheel needs to be taken off and it's only a few minutes work to have it fixed. You can do it yourself with a puncture repair kit or take it to any decent tyre place and you won't have to worry about your wheels being damaged as it's only a minor repair job.

no it has to come off because they have to glue from the inside of the tyre so it wont leak again

I have had it done many times and not once have they taken it off, it has never leaked either. They have their way of doing it trust me, and it works.

the only way to do it with tyre on is by using those poo stick things and they are only for temp repairs. Every one I've ever had done, the tyre has had to come off the wheel and as said above they burr the rubber and stick either a patch on or put a bung in. Get it done properly at a decent place and your wheels will be taken care of, if they're not then they buy you a new rim, simple.

Huh, I was never told it was temporary, I knew there was another way of donig it by taking the tyre off but I was never offered that option. Few place I went to they never mentioned anything they would just fix it with the tyre on and charge me and that's it. It's good that I know now for the future.

i say take it back to traction tyres. Clean them up real nice, make a specific point of saying that the rims are pristine and if there are any marks on it AFTER the repair, they can only come from one place.

The guys are great down there, they'll take care of them.

The other thing is that a puncture repair changes the speed rating of the tyre (i think) best to check with them at TT. Don't want to go out to the track and have a blow out... no doubt you'll be hitting some silly speeds in your beast

i'm just curious as to why you would risk 11ty million dollars worth of heavily modified GTR hell exxy wheels on a tyre repair?

i think the rubber is about $500 a corner... but yeah, i do see your point. Especially the speeds it's capable of.

Correctly repaired there is nothing wrong with a puncture repaired tyre.

You can even fix semi's in the same fashion.

Only issue is semi's tend to be softer than the compound used to fix the hole, so once it wears down a bit you get a tiny bump each turn of the tyre i believe :rant:

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
