Recommended Tire Joint?

[Lukaz]

Hey all, bought some wheels and need a few fiddly things done. I'm new to owning aftermarket wheels.

Firstly 2 of the tires have screws in them, just wondering how I should go about getting them removed and repaired - i think these tires are tubeless and as I said before Im not too cluey on anything to do with these wheels. Rough price?

Are repaired tires safe to drive on and do high speeds? one of these tires is pretty much brand new and it would be a waste to have to get a whole new tire just becuase of a puncture.

Also looking for a pair of bolt on spacers for the 2 front wheels, anybody have good contacts regarding them?

Cheers in advance!

Dont waste your time with these dodgy small tyre joints.. I got screwed around by a few of them, they just feed you a whole bunch of BS on why they are good and not to go anywhere else.. Take a drive to a Bridgestone tyre Center, they are straight foward. know what their on about and have surprisingly competetive prices. and they get the Job done right and quick smart..

depends on your location.

i have had 3 punctures in the same tyre and have taken it to the tyre factory in dandy each time i think it was $20.

they do the job but i would not take my car there for anything complicated, they are also pretty slow.

Just don't go to The Tire Factory (TTF) whatever you do.

I've always gone to Tyrepower, Bob Jane etc... or Cantebury Tyre and Mag Supamart have been helpful.

See if the hole can be plugged/glued & tubed, xtra sealed & peace of mind.

I've only seen one or the other done.

you should always make it very clear that you want whoever is changing the tyres to be VERY careful with your rims and you don't want any freakin apprentices touching your rims.

Caus they ALWAYS leave friggin nicks in your rims because most places really don't care.. most people don't even look at the rims afterwards. So they are rough as all hell.

Good idea to take them when really dirty, then you can see any new scratches.

Of course if they are checking for leaks they'll put them in water but still.

Dont go to TTF. Look at threads for spacers to see why.

i went to Mag Wheel & Tyre Centre this morning in Preston (chifley dve) to get a new set of RS-2's.

Very competitive prices and great service. Bit out of the way for you but i highly recommend them
