Punctured rear tyre

<< < (2/3) > >>

GLENN 70:
I don't know if it legal or not but its not a good place to have a repair .

Salthorse:
Yes, it's the Pzero. Not sure how the nail found the side wall but I saw it firmly stuck in there angled up towards the centre of the rim. And it was a bloody long nail.

Boet:

Bugger!!!!
Pity that spare you sold me didnt fit. As you said. Hope I never need it.

This is a completely uneducated guess, but I reckon that because the tyre walls are thinner then the tread, and the walls are subject to forces operating at different angles to the repair, therefore making it less stable or less strong?
