Problem solved. No noticible difference in ride once the pressure was reduced a few psi from stock. Technically you need tyre pressure monitors too but thats up to you. I tries tyreseal gunge but wheel balance goes out while stood, and returns only after 70 plus for ten mins. After that it stays good until you park up for a while again. http://www.wheelchairdriver.com/run-flat-tyres-disabled.htm

Didn't have the car long enough to use the spray though... -- Abo |
