So, did you take the tire with you to get it patched for a few more hundred miles life? ...can't claim the "Cheap-meister" title then :-) I got a deceased Tourance on the rear of my beemer, but before replacing it I'm going to push a big screw onto her (SA bait here) and practice my roadside puncture-repair abilities. It's been quite a while, and she likes gravel roads a lot, so I guess I'm asking for it. Roberto.
