Puncture-would die if I had to buy new rubber-please help

[Muad_dib77]

Talk about rubbish timing!

I'm looking to get rubber on my 18s and one of my stadard tires packs it in.. I knew it was on it's last "legs" but I honestly thought it's hold up untill I gotten the 18s sorted.

Last night driving home from work - turning in to the estate car wag'ed it's tail - I though..hold on...that's not right...(I was in 1st - starting from a standstill)..Imeddiately afterwards car just didn't handle and it was just plain wrong..

Rear Passenger side was flat as a pancake.. p1ssing rain - cold - dark - windy... pure misery really.

It would absolutely kill me if I had to go get a new tyre to stick on there.. and only use for an absolute max of 2months. (18s are going on!).

If you have 1std alloy with some rubber on - I don't care about brand - all I ask is that it's not punctured and it'll last me 2months. Please get in touch.

The Rim my wornout tyre is on is grubby but in v.good condition - so it would be possible for me to do a alloy swap..

I'm in the Blachardstown area - but pretty much anywhere in the Dublin region would be good...(Drogheda/Navan is also good!)

Just got in touch with RiceRocket.. apparently estimated shipping time from UK->IRL is 3-5 days..so I'm hoping that It'd be safe enough to drive around on the poxy spare till then...

Any idea what the speed rating on those yokes are? I didn't go any faster than 50mph (80kmph) on my way in this morning... Felt like I should be wearing a cardigan and a soft hat.. Even vans overtook me..

Felt like I was dying inside..
..trying no to think about it now..

80kmph is the limit on mine, prob safe to assume the same for you. I'll keep an eye out and tease you with some revving

I just got a new exhaust from Ricerocketuk. Ordered at 11:00 on Monday. New exhaust arrived at my hall door at 16:00 Tuesday. Now that's what I call service with a smile.

Wow..that's VERY good!

Hopefully my gear will arrive as fast.. Will have to pick up some spring compressors over the weekend...otherwise It'll be very difficult to fit those lowering springs..
