Cheapest place for Bridgestone 19 RF

jammy78 · 02-12-2014, 11:48 AM

Hi,

Just seeing if anyone knows the cheapest place to get a Bridgestone 19 RF (255/30).... fitted!

My bloody rear has a nail in it & the garage I took it to say they can't repair them....... annoying as it's got loads of tread left!

Garage quoted me £280 but I found tyre-shopper can do it fitted for £238

Can anyone beat that?

Cheers

If you can get it for £238 fitted then I'd snap their hand off. I've been looking as my rears will need changing soon and Oponeo and Blackcircles are quoting around £250 a tyre not fitted.

Get a pic up of where the nail is, a lot of garages will bulshit you saying run flats can't be repaired, they can only SAFELY repair the tyre if it hasn't been run flat & compromised the sidewall strength.

I successfully had one repaired last week with a propper plug for £20 & had no issues.

I drove about 20 miles with the "loss of pressure" warning & when I checked the pressure it was 1.3bar (should have been 2.4).

What do you reckon?

windymissile · 02-12-2014, 01:18 PM

Depending on puncture location on the width of the tyre, it's repairable.

you can repair runflats,i have been running on a repaired runflat for over six months with no problems,even done a couple of track days,they are no different to repair than non run flats

That'll be fine as long as the puncture isn't in the sidewall or the shoulder

magic77 · 02-12-2014, 02:13 PM

Depending where you are google chingford tyres , Hall Lane E4 8NU, they can repair your RFTs no problem

D_Boi · 02-12-2014, 02:34 PM

Try 'The tyre shop' its in Chingford. Great honest guys, they fixed my run flat for £10 a few months back and it hasn't caused me any issues since.

Cheers guys..... Chingford is about 45mins away - I'll check them out tomorrow!

jammy78 · 02-13-2014, 04:32 AM

I found the screw..... is too close to the sidewall for repair?

Jamie_E92 · 02-13-2014, 04:39 AM

ooft that is very borderline

Think its new tyre time sadly.

magic77 · 02-13-2014, 04:56 AM

I think you be ok on my winter tyre had one closer to edge then this and had it fixed. That was last winter. When I fitted the winters in December pressure was fine and still holding 3 months on. Want hurt to try put it this way.

Jamie_E92 · 02-13-2014, 04:58 AM

it will hurt though if your doing 80+ on the motorway though & you have a blow out due to it being too close to the sidewall.

magic77 · 02-13-2014, 05:19 AM

True but then same could be said on any repair or any tyre. All I'm saying its not that bad and I've had no issues with my repair.

Take it either way. Most places would even consider it as its a RFT but it can be done.

If repair is done well it will hold if badly even on middle of tyre you will still loose air. Until tyre is off you want know 100% as it depends at what angle on the inside its come through and how much on the curved part of the inside its on. If only just you shoudl be fine. IMO worth a try if thread on the tyre is good

ArsE92 · 02-13-2014, 05:24 AM

I've got a spare RE050 RF in that size for sale with decent tread if you're interested. I could post it down to you and you'd have to get it fitted locally.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll get some pictures and measure the tread depth.

I've replaced my rears with non-RFTs (fronts to do next week) so this has been in my boot for a couple of weeks.

I'm not being argumentitive with you in the slightest, i've ran stretched tyres & some pretty shocking stuff in the past being fairly young, it's just what i've seen from manufacturers guidlines & how the sidewall structure is made up, it starts to weave earlier in the tread than where the OP's nail is, thus it could compromise the tyres structure under extreme load/cornering etc.

Just wouldn't want to advise the OP to get it repaired & then have a blow out causing ££££ of damage or maybe injury.

Try these guys. Based in Holland but I ordered a set of 4 tyres and they came in 3 days. Take them to a local garage and pay £10 for fitting

226 is the Cheapest I could find

windymissile · 02-13-2014, 06:26 AM

Too close to the edge on a RFT unfortunately. You're going to have to get a replacement.

WM

jammy78 · 02-13-2014, 08:00 AM

I'm taking it to local place tomorrow morning & see if they'll repair it!

I found a guide online with the measurements to do a minor repair...... it's just on the border! I'll know for sure once the tyre is off!
