    I would of thought any repair in the tread area was ok, as for a spare tyre Im of the belief its only there if one of the other 4 fail.
    Ive never brought 5 new tyres and probable never will. I just rotate 4 atm

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Haha. I took it to a couple of tyre joints, the threads or something had broken and it was starting to bulge, so i turfed it and just bought a new one for the trip, and bought 3 new ones when i got back to make the set (Had a puncture while in tassie, and the spare then copped another puncture.. Unlucky..). Kept the best for a spare.

    Reckon it can be repaired? It's holding at 20psi at the moment and doesn't seem to be losing anymore, but when I crank it up to 35 it takes about 2 days to drop down to 20.

    Hoping it can be plugged!

    probably should have said posted on the 15th dec and he was heading to tassie, imho its an old thread as he has been and back home.

    Well to tie it all together, everything can be repaired for a price - even the old pair of slippers
