Cools down guys. It's a bloody confusing world we live in. It's easy to get stuck into each other here, best to ignore and move on.
Whatever you decide to do, just be careful and have a think about it.
1. Would you run a tyre with a damaged bead.
Close to civilization, paved roads and with access to a spare tyre and help - NO
Out in remote areas, trying desperately to get out and get help.. - YES
2. Would you run a tyre with a tyre plug in the sidewall?
Same as above
3. Would you run a tube in a tyre that is damaged?
Same as above
Seen many times on telly, drivers driving on damaged tyres and sometimes only on their rims. I think the show is called "COPS?"
"bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? whatcha gonna do when they come for you!"
