tyre lasted 5 days FFS

[White Noise]

went and got my divvy MOT'ed today, it failed on the front brake pads being too low, no major hassle to get them fixed. but what i am so fooking angry about is while i was getting it done the guy doing it found a screw in my front tyre. the new one i got fitted 5 days ago!
why is it that new tyres just attract screws?
it looks like it can be plugged but still a pain in the arse! does £25 sound about right for is to be plugged?
what suprised me was its not a MOT failure to have a screw in your tyre
can anyone beat five days?

£23.50

Mind you it was a 26 mile round trip

I was quoted £15 for a tyre to be plugged - rear at that.

I had my 50cc passed at MOT with a drill bit penetrated through the top of the tyre, then back out through the sidewall. It went in with such a force it put a chip in the rim.

The guy passed it but told me to get it changed

oooh that sucks.

I got a new rear tyre (Bt014) and It lasted me (no punctures etc) exactly 2 weeks.

Not that I am throttle happy or anything.

[carlnicholson...]

I got a nail in my BT014 on the Ninja. Cost £15 the have it plugged.

On the same day, it fell off the side stand and took the engine case and sheared the left peg clean off. Quite an expensive day out that was.

I think all of my tyres have only lasted for a max 500 miles before getting some sort of foreign object in! Ah the joys of tyre weld...

I got a puncture in a old tyre, managed to get the bike down the road a mile or so to get a new one fitted.

By the time I got home I had another puncture in the new tyre.

[McGee]

I once made my girlfriend go into a tyre place and lie where she is from and say she is out of cash and needs to plug here bike tyre otherwise she cant get home.

She got it for free Ta love wont forget you for that
