minkymulbs Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Picked up a six inch nail in my OSR tyre (vredestein 225/40/18) and been advised by local fitter that it can not be repaired as its on the edge and nail has rubbed outer wall. He said he would have to check Monday if he can get hold of the sessantas but he wasnt sure. So my question is it okay simply to replace one tyre even if the other side has 5mm of tread? I have always assumed you should replace with the same brand so the patterns match but would the difference in rolling radius due to tread make a difference?

minkymulbs Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Guys since my recent flat a friend recommended this http://www.ride-on-uk.com/ a while back and was wondering what people thought. Seems like a fantastic idea and Ive have a similar product in my daughters allterain push chair and bike. However neither would have any balancing issues, they say it aids balancing but Im scepitcal.
