My WagonR has done close to 23K and its almost 3 years now. I have stock JK Tyres with tubes in steel rims. I had couple of punctures in three years and one of the tire wall is also damaged as i went over a pothole at over 80KMPH speeds on a highway. I use that tire as a stepney. Visually other tires look good. Recently i got a puncture again and took it to a local repairwalla. He said that the tube was "weak" and should be replaced. On checking the tube of another tire (which already had 2 punctures)he said those should be changed too. He said on low speeds it is ok to use repaired tubes, but not on highways, where car runs at high speeds for long duration. Is this true? If yes, please suggest what tubes should i get (make)(i don’t want to compromise with safety oif my family). Anyone knows any good place in North Bangalore, where i can replace the tubes with good quality ones and also get alignment and balancing done? |
