Runflats puncture

GX337 · 04-20-2014, 06:14 AM

Does anybody know of a good tyre place local to me in Beaconsfield, South Bucks ?
Problem is I've got a slow puncture on front passenger wheel and my usual tyre place refuses to remove the tyre because they cannot guarantee removal of the tyre because it being a runflat will end up damaging the bead.
They said the leak is due to rubbish not being cleaned around the lip of the wheel by the previous fitter but the tyre is good !
So what should I do as I don't trust most tyre places as they haven't got touchless machines ?

I have had runflat punctures repaired at various back garages with no problem. You have to trust someone.

The problem is last time I went to a back garage they marked my alloy so I am looking for recommendations locally.

The tyre place you went to are right though, the tyre may get damaged when removed from the rim so be prepared as you may have no choice but to buy a tyre. If it comes off ok then all well and good

I had my run flats recently removed. It turned out that at some point in their life with the previous owner they had been run flat. I was lucky. There was extensive damage to the inside of the tyre. Always check for a small grove worn on the inside radius. And be prepared to fork out for new tyres.

My tyre has not been driven whilst flat, tyre is good it's the possible damage that can be caused to the tyre bead on removal that may leave a nearly new tyre with 7mm tread scrap !

Try asking a member called blues n twos, he's from you're area and I think he's bought new wheels and tyres in the past so may know where a decent place is for you to use, goodluck
