          Been there. I have been given a repair kit from Halfrauds, for my birthday. Waiting for some warm weather to have a go. Suppose the repair will be as good as my preparation, but I'll give it a go. Anybody used these kits??

              We used to be able to buy tyres with a rib on the sidewall to protect the wheels. Do they still make these?

                    It's the kerb, it's in the wrong position. Now if they put the kerb two inches further away, problem solved
