Got it repaired this morning for £25. No damage to the inside of the tyre, so they were happy to do it.
It took the tyre fitter AGES to get the tyre off, as it was well stuck onto the wheel. Stupid RFTs. :x
A few ham fisted crow bars on the rim will soon have that tyre off :)

Tim.

He was very careful TBF. Maybe because I was watching him! :wink:

I remember when I bought some new alloys and tyres for the Z3 and I chose a mobile fitter that had a touchless machine. Fitted everything and left and soon realised he'd fitted one of the tyres the wrong way round :lol:

Bit awkward. How long did you have to drive backwards only for? :)

That's good news Andy. :thumbsup:

Most of the bigger tyre outlets tend to just want to sell a new tyre. :(

I was pleased to read this, having picked up a nail in a nearly new tyre on Sunday, I would probably have just ordered a new tyre, but went to Bush tyres who repaired it without question.
