Does salt air off the lagoon really wear tyres faster?

Salt is harder on steel wheels, valves and brake lines than on the rubber itself, but coastal roads scrub tyres in their own way: the pull up to the square and the bends out towards Glandore and Leap work the shoulders. A quick look at the wear pattern on your next trip in tells the story.

Can a slow puncture be repaired or do I need a new tyre?

Most slow punctures repair, provided the damage sits in the tread and the sidewall is sound. We inspect the tyre off the rim before deciding and tell you straight if it is safe to repair. The detail is on the puncture repair page.

Why does my car pull to one side on the N71 from Rosscarbery?

A steady pull on a straight, level road like the N71 usually means the tracking is out or a tyre is running soft. Our 3D alignment rig measures all four wheels and sets them back to the maker's figures, and the run home to Rosscarbery is a fair test of the result.
