    Arse Feck and buggery bollocks

    Second puncture in the rear, managing to render the tyre un-reparairable

    Less than 1500 miles. Is this a record?

    Nope; I've had three punctures in a D207 rear within the first week. < 150
    miles. That was two years ago and I haven't had a single puncture since.
    Luck is a funny old thing.

    No - right shape but a record is usually of diameter 7, 10 or 12 inches
    and rotates more slowly.

    No.

    I got a puncture in a fairly new D207 rear (about 2000 miles) on my
    SZR on the way to work. It was the third puncture I'd had, and right
    at the edge of the tyre, so it was unrepairable. So, I got a new D207
    put on. On the way home, I got a 6cm bolt through the edge of the
    tyre, again making it unrepairable - maybe 35 miles on the tyre.

    In
    after my third tyre buggered by punctures each before they'd got to the
    tender usage of 1000 miles I got talked into using the Avon Azaros by my
    tyres fitters. Not only have they been excellent tyres when one of them
    got a puncture it was replaced for free by Avon (up to a certain tread
    wear limit) ....

    Hmmmm, interesting. If this keeps up, I could well be tempted. Bought a
    repair kit as well.....
