I have this lying around in my garage.
Let's get to the bad bit first. This tyre suffered a puncture.
Bought it early last year and after about 3-4K miles of gentle road use I managed to get a nail stuck in it. Whether it was from the road or done in spite I don't know...
It's in a pretty decent condition and I had planned to get it repaired for use as a spare. Porsche said it would be perfectly legal and safe to repair but that they don't do it themselves because it's against their policy. They said it would have to be done independently before they could fit it for me.
I didn't have any time to do this straight away as I needed my car so I just bought a new one. I only replaced the one and not the whole axle because the other tyres was in an almost new condition and it seemed a complete waste.
I sold my 911 back in spring so obviously have no need for it.
Anyway, it'll need repairing, which I believe costs about £20. But could be ideal for someone to have as a spare. Rather than buying a brand new one for £350 odd.
As for the price. It'll need 20 quid or so spent on it so, £99ono?
Any questions please ask.
I still have the invoice for proof of purchase.
Cheers
