Thank goodness for the space saver

[Red V8]

Jan 2nd... nice day, took the P&J for the first run of the year... drove a bit and then parked up, returned 20 minutes later to a flat, rim on the road flat.

Tried the little compressor I carry behind drivers seat, no joy

Tried the can of tyreweld I carry behind the passengers seat, no joy

Had no option than to put the space saver on... good job I had with me (was thinking about taking it out) as the original tyre looks completely kaput, must have been flat for a couple of miles (on reflection the car was wandering a bit), and on closer inspection looks like the rim seal on the inside had broken.

Not wanting to start another tyre thread... I was on Bridgestone SO2's rear and toyo T1's front... I'm thinking of SP9000 rear, looking about £98 per corner fitted... just wondered where you guys on the Dunlops got them from?

Cheers

Try putting "cheap tyres" into gooogle and it will come up with loads of tyre sites, like blackcircle.com put in the size you want and speed rateing in the drop downs and Bobs your Uncle. worth a look just to see whats available.

camskill is the only place to go... but put Falken FK452's on the back you wont regret it.

I've got SP9000's all round, very happy, rears were £190 fitted from Event Mobile Tyres (they come to you).

Do you have the Z rated... I notice they come in V and W rated also?

Many thanks for the kind offer, but the other one won't last that long... maybe a omen to change both.
