hello everyone, just been to asda, they are selling tyre weld at

[Tentenths]

But check the T&C of your breakdown cover before you do though...

[david hopwood]

But the V8 gt never came with a spare wheel so are the TC's in breach still?

[Tentenths]

Some breakdown T&C's stipulate that if the car's original spare wheel has been removed it invalidates the roadside assistance cover for tyre related issues.

If the car wasn't originally supplied with a spare then it shouldn't be a problem

Also take into account that Weld will

1. Shag your tyre permanently, even if it's a small puncture you'll have to replace the tyre

2. Not fix tyre shredding.large splits/holes

3. will only work for a short distance (meant to be 50 miles but degrades after 30).

Please also note that a "decent" can of weld, thats one that is BS standard and approved and that will do the job properly, costs about

What was the tyre weld product Lotus issued with the Esprits that didn't have a spare wheel (GT3, V8 GT & Sport 350)?

Don't bother with tyre weld, in my experience i have never seen it work. The AA uses a tempory tyree repair kit that is fantastic and has never let me down, i carry one in the car all the time. Lucas is our suplier so if there is one near you go in and see if they have any, trust me they are worth getting.
