Put on the 17" inch spare and drop in at the Goodspanner outlet at Harbord for a repair.The tyre fixed for $25.00.It's got 100+ klms on it.Do I go and buy another tyre for the Track day, or do I assume the tyres up to the job??Any thoughts???Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44628-should-i-buy-a-new-tyre/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The was a "ring" impression the size of a 5 cent piece, but the hole was very small. I will drop back into the tyre place today and ask their opinion as well.Thanks guys.
