How can such a little piece of metal be so depressing......I'll be taking it in next break. What if it's only a stub of a screw? like 1/2cm deep... That'd make me so happy.

Paranoia is setting in.... sabotage I reckon....angry ex? jealous neighbour? silly children? Out with it cowards!

Grrrr don't want to get a new shoe for one little screw...May as well get a set of 01/02 17's with tyres. Gotta get some anyway I reckon.

Anyone know of a set in reasonably good nick? not going to post on wtb yet though.

No track work planned, but sometimes I go around corners a bit fast. I suppose it's a bit excessive..worrying about a repair job...

Repair jobs are fine. I have patched R comps with DIY "dog turd" repair kits in competition and then driven at 200+ with no problems and continued to race on the tyre til it wore out. (Kit is designed for this application) As long as it is in the middle of the tyre and not on the shoulder a tyre shop will do it for you. Just patch it. It will be fine. But leave it to a professional shop if you haven't DIY'ed before.

It's in the middle of the tyre. It's not really an issue. I'll just get it fixed.
