Hot Vulcanizing Puncture Repairs in Scotland

a4drk · Post by **a4drk** » Thu Jan 03, 2008 6:20 pm

Does anyone know of anyone who does this?
I've got 2 punctures in my rear tyres of my 330d.
(255/35/18's !) - 2 months old & i'm no scrapping them.

Newlife tyres in Edinburgh have stopped doing it & the other place in Gorgie (oppo BMW Eastern Serving) have shut down.

The nearest place i can find is in Bolton.

anyone help ?

i have similar problem with rear 48......is this vulcanising game a good solution to a puncture? never heard of it before if you'll pardon my ignorance! ;-p

Have patch in my tyre at the moment as a temporary fix till i either get new rears or a full set of new tyres - will prob go for t1r's and either store or sell my gd front 48's

NOOPS 160,
I'll find the website of the place in Bolton.
They say that once a puncture has been vulcanised, that is now the strongest part of the whole tyre.

i'll have a hunt for the site

Here it is :
They have tested tyres to 150mph.....
thats OK then, coz my 330d can only do 148mph......... !
