Just wanting some opinions....

Got new rims and tyres on xmas eve and today got a puncture . Too close to the side wall to get fixed. Was told to put a tube in as it is a shit load cheaper than spending another $220 on a new tyre.....

What would you do?

Cheers,

Daren

new tyre..

i have written a car off for the need of a new tyre its not worth skimping.. its the only thing between you and the road,

take the hit in the wallet and write it down to experience.

Thanks for your reply....

Yeah I have never put a tube in a tyre before always repaired it or bought a new one....

No worries. I got a full set of 235/45R17 in near new condition im gonna be selling soon but they will be to large for ya...

How much you selling them for?? From memory 235 would be the widest I could go on my 17 x 7 rims.

Keep in mind that wider tyres will rub on your struts/coilovers.. You would want to do 225 max??
