Each puncture takes 20-40 minutes to repair, plus possible replacement tube cost. Finally, I forked out big bucks and bought eight puncture resistant tyres (but not for my 6 year old). I have been very successful and very happy with the puncture resistant tyres. I have them now for 18+ months and have not had any more puncture problems. |
