[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 387372, member: 4527"] Our tyres are operating near stress limit at the top speed of our car 215~242kph.. and the heavier, thicker reinforced RFT is putting more stress on the tyre when its rotating high speed, stretching both the side walls and rolling surface. A torn/punctured tyre despite patched, has a weak point on the tyre surface and when put to stress at our top speed, this weak point may give way and causing the tyre to "disintegrate" into pieces, putting the passenger at lief threatening risk. If you never drive more than 110kph, be our guest, keep patching the tyres and you'll still be safe.. :wink: If you ask me would I patch my RFT, the answer is "YES" .. :D but I won't be pushing above 180kph.. :( Even at 160kph, u are already considered dancing with the devils!
