Tuscan Tyres

[chim450]

I have got a flat in one of my front SO2s. I can't seem to find any SO2s for sale in 225 35 ZR 18 flavour. I know a lot of people use Toyo Proxies instead, and I can pick 2 of these up for £106 each.

How do you rate these compared to SO2s? Is it better to change both fronts to Toyos? or try to find another S02?

I found that Toyos have a lot more grip, but the trade off is they wear out quicker.

I've just posted on the ToG as I am thinking of going for Goodyear F1s to replace my S02s. Anyone on here used them?

Not the same problem but I am always getting a puncture in one tyre, three times in the last 2 months.
Is this a common problem with low profile tyre or am I just getting bad luck.
The bigest problem I am getting is when I take the wheel in to be fixed there is no sign of a nail etc.

But due to the fact that I have to put in the tyre inflator (stupid Cans) it is costing me a tyre each time.

Any help would bea appriciated.

Sounds like something wrong with the rim to me, if it is always the same one.

yes I agree....probably has nothing to do with it but years ago I used to have a push bike that keeps getting a pucture....sometimes straight after it being fixed.On closer examination I found that the rims was not perfect and it was "grazing"the tyre on one spot.Just a thought...

I seem to remember some thread about porous rims..could be worth checking.
Also check for kerbing damage..my nearside rear was 'kerbed' against the grassy verge in a high speed powerslide and its never been quite right. Loses about 2-3psi a month. The others lose nothing. It was fine before.
