View Full Version : proper fcuked off
the other day i had abit of spare dollar and fancied a pint in the sun. it turned out to be more than one thing so did the right thing and walked home, which by the morning after i was well proud of meself for doing. so set off to pick me car up and find four flat tyres!!!!! searched for slash marks but found nothing so assumed kids had let them down. not a biggy i thought. blew them up but a few hours later i found it wasnt that simple. on further inspection ive found tiny stab holes in all four :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: fcuking fuming as i cant afford new tyres :(

Never man thats fecking shoite:cry:
I have four tigra pentaline wheels with good (ish) tyres if ya need em bud:thumb:

The little shasters need the same doing back but in there eyes :mad:
Any other cars had the same done to there's in the car park. Any cameras near by.?
well as dodgy as it sounds ive got a mate who is gonna patch two of them as they are basically brand new and because of how small the hole is it wont have damaged the cords.
and cheers spud but ive just about got enough random spares to get it rolling again
No worries bud just a thought if you were stuck:thumb:

i had it done to two of my tyres on my Evo, but the holes were much bigger! they'd been stabbed with a sharp screwdriver!
both N/S tyres were vandalised and i tried driven home carefully and it tore another tire off the rim
best thing was the lad who did it got caught braggin about it so i did my homework and the soft **** bought me 4 new Goodyear F1's
well the landlord is ****ed off about it so is keeping an ear out.

And your tyres will now die of aids :cry:
dunno why i havnt thought of it before but wouldnt those puncture repair in a can thingies work??
^ No reason why not. Expensive for four though?
That sucks though mate. Spineless, brainless to$$ers! No need at all. :(
its a tenner a can. £40 for four cans or £200 for some new tyre. i only wanna save the front two anyway

yea he is dude if you patch the side wall as the car corners the flex in the side wall causes the patch to come off and down goes the tyre!!

burgo, if ya know someone that will do that then they aint clever! dude its been said that the tyre walls flex quite a lot, it will tear out the patches in minuits!
surely if you use rubber glue and a rubber patch then it will flex with it. im thinking back to bicycle days and how much the inner tubes flex on them yet it was fine
novaguy08
24-04-09, 10:01 PM
yeah will flex, but its a weakness........ the tyre basically one peice and drilling a hole into it then blocking it up again you will have a weakness so any bumps or corners you hit will cause problems

get this stuff, i got the bike set for my rears after having multiple punctures. top gear and you could drive across gandi on spikes after
noooo not gonna use one of those patches, i ent stupid enough to go drilling my side wall. im literally using something like bike inner tube. cutting out a small patch and gluing it on

if you patch it then it will fail
novaguy08
24-04-09, 10:26 PM
ok ok burgo its your funeral (litterally if ya not carefull!!)
at work we use tubeless plant tyres & the surface patches really move about when working on uneven surfaces & when working really hard, the tyres hold about 35-35psi & take abuse that a car tyre will never ever encounter & we have never seen a patch come off, rip or fail.
burgo, the holes are so small that it probably happened much earlier in the day, and the tyres took a lot of hours to deflate... have you offended anyone recently?
novaguy08
24-04-09, 10:59 PM
mowgli fair point but if he gets pulled or it DOES fail by some random means, then 1 i would be pretty sure that his insurance is invalidated as he knows there is a problem with the car and its fixed illegaly & 2 its a max of 3 points per tyre so it will be bye bye license! if you got protected no claims i would be on the phone to insurance to see if there is any chance you could get some new ones due to vandalism!! (i doubt it will work as they technically a disposible but worth a shot imho!)
my excess on the insurance is £200 so its pointless claiming. have you actually seen the picture i put of the hole. it is literally a pin prick. its not like im trying to patch a slash or owt. id love to know how the police are gonna see the inside of my tyres

sorry dude wont work people have blagged us to do it when i was a tyre fitter and it never lasts long the tyre will flex as you corner and bring it off!!
try getting some on some rims from scrapyards or something mate!
and I had a morris minor pickup with a patch on one tyre that lasted ten years before I sold it.......

I just think that burgo & my good self have a much higher tolerance to some things. I had a tyre on a nova back in the old days that had a screw in it. every couple of months it would start leaking, so i'd just put a larger screw in the hole. after eight months, I couldn't get a screw to fit, so I stuck a tube in it..
HEY BURGO!!!!!!, get 4 inner tubes!!!!!
lol even im not that bad! i had a screw in a tyre for about 6 months i just kept pumping it up every so many days.
EDIT how the **** my reply got here i domt know!???

dude, patch wont last 20 mins, you will spend more time taking the tyre on and off!! dont forget your going to have to deal with heating and cooling due to being used on the road, so its going to expand and contract pretty much every day!! i would be shocked if a patch lasted more then a day!! also whilst im here are tubes going to be ok on a tubless designed tyre?
Used to have a mate who was a tyre fitter and he would repair anything lol.
Who says its illegal to repair run flats lol

Right. I've had enough of this. if every car tyre with a patch suddenly went flat, there would be about 1 million cars suddenly stop on the side of the road........ the concept of putting a patch on is that the vulcanising compound actually chemically fuses the patch to the tyre. and tyres always flex. ALWAYS!!!! OK!!!!!
our jcb's tyres flex somewhere in the order of 300mm when on site & the holes in the tyres are made by stuff like reinforcing bar and about 12mm diameter. the patches that fix them are permanent.
there is very little difference between a tube tyre and a tubeless tyre, its simply down to the rim design.
as said before, most things people say about tyres are myths perpertrated by tyre companies to sell tyres. I used to run directional yoko's & tried to get someone from a major tyre service company to change them side to side due to uneven wear from camber & hard cornering. they were totally legal. he told me that once a tyre starts to wear, it doesn't matter if you swap them side to side, because it will continue to wear the same way, regardless of what I did to them.......I called him names & left. our artics get their tyres changed round on their rims regularly to get more life from them
tyres get serious damage & get whats called a major repair & they are good as new.
remoulds are made from carcasses that can have punctures, but they get repaired & are fine.

ok its a fair point that using rubber cement effectivly welds the patch into place, but it also makes a manufactured weakness, which can cause problems, before anyone mentions YES I HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS! a manufactured weakness will mean that under pressure differencials there is a chance of a rupture or warping, so even if it dont pop out its weaker then a solid peice of rubber so its more likley to bulge. thats why they make the legs from an oil rig from 1 solid peice of concrete
But welded material is stronger than the base material.

the bit you are missing is the fact that for over a century, by repairing punctures, people the world over have been riding a coach & horses straight through your argument........
a rubber and cloth car tyre has been designed to move about in every direction, withstand horrendous impact loads from potholes, and debris on the road, get punctured & repaired, and cost about £50.
a leg on an oil rig is poured in one controlled single go, but the concrete is not the strength, the steel & fibres are the strength, the concrete is there for weight to ballast it, and basically as something to fill in the gaps between the steel substructure. also it costs several billion dollars to make.
thats nothing lol

ok mowgli, its an argument i dont particularly want to get into...... can keep going round for weeks and the last time i did it i ended up getting the rip taken outa me for months!
Shall we agree to disagree?? However i agree with you that the tyres have been designed to suffer through day to day life as you have discribed however the tyre is also not designed to buldge under normal use, yet it still does! and with an extra weak spot its more likley to buldge........ not only that but if i spotted that hole on a computer then i would be VERY surprised if an MOT tester would miss it
I will agree to the fact that you are wrong on tyres.
but on a whole car an mot tester isnt looking for a prick hole in a tyre, there looking for far more, you had a picture of 1/4 of a tyre knowing there was a hole!
even when you know where the hole is you cant see it lol. that pic i took was taken from a couple of inches away lol. i dont think you understand how small it is. plus my MOT tester wouldnt fail it on a repaired tyre anyway

TBF we all know what you can "GET" away with, so just do as you feel now, sod anyone els..............
that tyre weld is allgedly a temp fix... I ran my omega on a tyre welded one for about 10Kmiles lol
Having had a go at slashing and stabbing a tyre full of air, I'd say that was NOT a hypodermic needle, as it would have simply snapped/bent before it got in.
Infact its a nightmare slashing tyres with a brand new uber sharp stanley blade lol.
I'd say that was likely to be a dart or one of those bradwal things (you know, the spikes for marking wood pre drilling)

tyre weld does f*ck tyres up the stuff messes up the compond off the rubber!! they can fail for damage on the side wall ect but you have to be able to see the cordes off the tyre in this case you cant!!
