New Tyre Foam

[homerjay]

Bloody big screw in the side wall, £140 for a new tyre coz no c**t stocks em and a day with no car!

NOT A HAPPY CHAPPY

Where do i buy replacement cans of it and how much is it?

cheers

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

£140 ? seems a bit much.

Much cheaper on www.mytyres.co.uk

 

[homerjay]

i dont need to know that! cheapest i could get was 118 but that was a THREE WEEK WAIT!

 

[jon_r]

There would be a 4 - 7 day wait with mytyres as well

 

[homerjay]

thats the problem with no spare wheel, ya cant really afford to be f**kin around lookin for the cheapest price, i just need a damn tyre without a hole in it...

anyway, where do i get new tyre foam stuff?

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Alright !

Something which might be of interest to you, i got Superseal put into my tyres which prevents punctures. I currently drive around with a nail in my tyre with no loss of pressure.

Any petrol station will sell it.

 

[homerjay]

lol sorry, just not feelin too clever today!

cheers for that, £7 aint bad...

 

[Guilbert]

You can get tyreweld from Halfords, i got some the other day for £5.99 cause they had an offer on. Might still be doing it.

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Yeah im pretty sure halfords sell it aswell.

Might be easier than ordering online if you have a local one aswell.

Another reason to consider having a "Spare" Wheel in the Garage etc.

 

[Mondial172]

There was some renault stuff of ebay a few months back.

Some tit bought it for triple what renault charge!!!

 

[homerjay]

ok then, where do i get a spare wheel from?

this is my 1st ever puncture in 8 years of driving and ya just know that when i buy a spare i will never get a puncture (in this car) again.

 

[Jason C]

likewise, I wouldnt mind having a spare wheel around with a tyre just in case. Anyone know the cost?

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Depends on the rating



If its V rated they are £70 , if they are w rated they are the best part of a ton.

[homerjay]

i was just thinkin a crappy temp wheel, from another clio or sommit?

 

[UncleRogi]

Itd have to be 16" to match the rest thats not normal size for Clio "cheap" wheels.

Not sure what spare Alloys go for.

 

[Liam]

nightmare for this me, I too have not had a puncture but would want to be able to get a new proper cup version tyre (if they exist) asap if I needed one, cant a renault dealer get them/have them>?

 

[James 182]

I can get stiffened sidewall tyres for £110 next day if anyone want some

 

[rwaterman]

If the puncture aint that bad a decenct tyre place should just be able to remove the nail and repair the damage for around £15.............

I had this done when i owned a valver, i had 2 nails in 1 tyre cost me £12.50 to get it all sorted....

[Grandpa Munster]

Next time someone is selling their 182 wheels and tyres, 4 of us should get together and buy them. That way we can put a spare in the garage.

 

[Liam]

big lee, good idea id be up for that.

 

[Mondial172]

This story is the same on the cup.

Every time 4 turinis are up for sale everybody says lets all buy one but knowone ever does.

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Once you put foam in a tyre, can you still repair a puncture? Ie does the foam harden and render the tyre useless after that?

Never used it before so dont know.

 

[daz182]

get your self a crappy old reno wheel and keep it in the boot, remember and tie it down tho, i got one from scrapyard for £14, unused

 

[M.C..]

i got an exalto for £105 next day when my tyre went (split sidewall) ive also got a spare 182 wheel now as the aa scrathed the wheel when they strapped it to the back of the truck and they got me a new wheel now all i need is a very cheap tyre to put on.

i might also get a steely as it will take up much less space in the boot

 

[homerjay]

i wouldnt bother carrying the spare around, just us the foam to get ya home, much quicker and easeir and saves u messing around at the time...

keep the spare in the garage and change when ya get home...

 

[homerjay]

UPDATE: i ordered a tyre yesterday for £139 fitted, left a tenner deposit.

should have been here today.............

just got a phone call, 2 more days AT LEAST!!!

rang round 3 local renault dealers, NONE in stock anywhere!!!!

ARGH!!!!! NO FRIGGIN CAR TILL MONDAY NOW!!!

 

[homerjay]

can i drive on this foam sh*t in my tyre or not?

and for how long?

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Jay
