For f**ks sake!

Mr.N · 02-19-2010, 04:18 AM

Any ideas if it can be repaired?

Anybody got any recommendations for repairers in Manchester? I'm in the City Centre at the moment.

TIA

willhollin · 02-19-2010, 04:19 AM

New tyre I think mate.

Mr.N · 02-19-2010, 04:19 AM

Ballbag!

pjs · 02-19-2010, 04:22 AM

bit icy today, put a few more in for that Winter Tyre effect!

Might as well, cos thats a new tyre needed

Mr.N · 02-19-2010, 04:25 AM

Thanks for the responses boys.

Yes its looking like it is going to be a fresh one, I emailed the picture to a few repairers and the one that could be bothered to call me back just said the same thing.

What a pain in the arse!

Event Tyres will do it at £172.14, all in.
Any other suggestions?

willhollin · 02-19-2010, 04:25 AM

What size and model?

Mr.N · 02-19-2010, 04:26 AM

It's a ContiSport Contact 3, 245/35 ZR18 pal.

willhollin · 02-19-2010, 04:31 AM

Event Tyres price looks competitive , and they are good. What a pain!

Mr.N · 02-19-2010, 04:32 AM

Just rang Event and they wouldnt be able to get to me til Monday now!

Holy shit, today's started REALLY well!

Thanks a lot Will, you're a good un.

I had screw in a similar location (near) side wall...obviously a tire shop will not touch it. I repaired it with a plug....i know its a cheap fix but its holding up so far(about 7k).

If you dont know what a tire plug is then you really need help.

Another American who doesn't understand British humour

Sorry about the tyre mate thats got to be a pain in the arse!! Have you tried black circles? this is the link think this is your tyre £175 http://www.blackcircles.com/order/tyres/search

Mr.N · 02-19-2010, 05:08 AM

Ha ha! Bless him.

Thought I'd try Kwik Fit on the off chance - wanted £225!

Robbing b*stards!

I've just booked Event, it's going to be Tuesday now though (bollocks)

Ah well, could've been worse I suppose.......but I do remember paying £60 a tyre on my shitty old punto when I was nowt but a boy.

jinjur · 02-19-2010, 07:01 AM

Shit one mate......

Thread posts all served the best humour though chap, good for you

I know you have booked that other place and all but I have nothing but praise for Camskill......may not be the best for you mainland chaps but for us boys in NI, tyres are well priced and delivery is stupendously cheap.

You'd need to get it fitted though.

Hope your Friday wises the f**k up.

AMEN brother!

I did check with Camskill but as you say, I would have to factor in f**king about getting it fitted and it wouldnt work out any cheaper anyways, as it was over £150 delivered.

Thanks for the input matey

Jinjur - Where do you get your tyres fitted when you buy from Camskill?

jinjur · 02-19-2010, 08:57 AM

Last time i used Autofit on Batchelors Walk, Lisburn.

20 quid all in.

And i can tell you they had a hard job getting the run flats off

LOL
