Tyre puncture worry

[2fas4u]

this is what i saw when i was washing my car

after i took the screw out, this is the culprit


now my tyres are new so you reckon with the amount of penetration the screw has done on the tread of my tyres that will cause permaent damage or could i just fix that job up with a puncture repair kit? not exactly keen on spending another 160 on a new tyre. cheers.

Easily repairable, about $10 - $20 worth, some shops do it for free. No problem.

i got a tony tyre service sticker when i bought the tyres, doesn't those stickers validate one to free puncture repair?

[Dr-X]

Wouldn't have a clue. But if you've just bought tyres, if they're good people they should happily do a repair for you. Only takes 10mins.

Yea, X is right, not a worry at all to fix.

Had the same thing to one of my tyres once, and they did it for free.

Another word of advice, next time you post pictures, make them a little bit smaller, makes it easier on everyone...

oops, lol sorry, took it with my 1.3MP PXT fone set at highest res so it's clear as possible. will take care to reduce size in the future

Off-topic, but out of interest.

What kind of phone/network does a 1.3MP camera-phone?

[2fas4u]

mine is a sony ericsson S700i on vodafone NZ. it features a 1.3MP camera which does video as well. i am a cellular specialist so i usually alwasy end up owning one of the late model top phones. used to have a sony ericsson p900.

As a specialist, how do you rate the Sharp GX30?

[2fas4u]

as an ex owner of the GX30i which is the GX30 with full voice and data bluetooth capability, i am very impressed with every aspect of the phone. feels solid not like the GX10, GX10i, GX20 (apologise to any of those owners) which felt way to plasticey. apart from the GX30i's BT defference everything else is the same. the screen quality and resolution of 260k interanal and 65k external as well as the sound quality are my highlights of my time of ownership. the MP3 function is great, though they could chuck in a 64MB card rather than a 8MB considering how cheap the SD cards are nowdays. the size is just right to hold and text. the keypads are well layed out and spaced. very easy to use. sexy champagne colour. nice 7 colour lights that dances with the vibration and to the tune fo your ringtone. to sum it up, IT IS A $&#$% NICE PHONE!!!

Sweet, haven't had mine long and I feel the same way, was just wondering what someone in the know thought.

[2fas4u]

yeah as a unbiased speciallist i vow to GX30's superiorness. the screen and the 1MP cam is a great combination.

haha i had a screw exactly the same in my front tyre for 2 or 3 weeks, By the time i got it fixed the head had just about been worn off

[2fas4u]

and you didn't notice it while driving for 2-3 weeks?
