    After a busy and demanding day at work I thought it was best to wind down and go for a little drive straight after work. Many miles racked up around Weatmeath this time, from bumpy roads to twisty roads, wide to narrow. Stopped in Delvin for a mars bar just like old times :pac:

    Anyone see me this time? :p

    All different, some UK. There was a matte black one with no plates. The Nissan dealer.conference is on there next week. The 370Z's look fully race prepped

    Presuming it works perfectly you'd need to look at it like this to ascertain is it worth getting done imo
    - how many punctures do you expect to get over the lifetime of a set of tyres
    - is it worth €90 not to get "any" (sh1t still happens so you can't rule out ever getting one even if the tack is good)

    I know you might get none in a year but then you could get 2 in a week. Like the idea of the security of being puncture free and not having to worry about getting a blow out on a motorway. Does the stuff work tho? Doesn't seem to be many reviews online about it

    Is it not more of a case that it works in that if you get a puncture it keeps the tyre from deflating and you still have to get the puncture repaired or replace the tyre?

    Reading on their site it seems you just take any screw out and the tyre stays the same pressure and no need to replace or repair the tyre. Find it hard to believe which is why im asking on here

    I cant even remember the last time I had a puncture, so personally I wouldnt bother. I definately wouldnt pay the price of a tire to get it done, but maybe thats just me ;)

    I actually always wanted one of these. This mightn't be the best example of one though.

    or

    One of these. This might be over priced as I don't know what these usually go for.

    Thats just wrong :(

    Parts are expensive though if it's something terminal, and it's even in the best colour :(
