Run flats

Post by Wood Butcher » Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:59 am

Recently I had a few punctures, unfortunately I could not find anywhere that would actually repair these, although I know it can be done.
Both times I ended up forking out for a new tyre :x


Then I heard about these new runflat wheels, which don't have a tyre at all. I found a fitter locally and popped down to get a set fitted.
I have heard that the ride is improved too, so will report back on this. This picture was taken just before the wheels were fitted.

Unfortunate that you took the photo before the fitment of wheels, would like to see a current photo :rofl:
