TomV Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Are all terrain tyres more resilliant to punctures than normal road tyres? The reason I ask is because I have a slow puncture on one of my rear tyres and Im sure its a thorn that got stuck in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 In the 12 months i've had BFG A/T on ad covered 40K over variety of terrains I have not had a puncture. Road tyres would be dead by now and still attached to my truck in a muddy field I expect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulf Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ive never had a problem with my BFG Ats, i think by the nature of them the deeper tread and thicker rubber make decent ATs more puncture resistant. Have you tried replacing the valve, my money would be more on a faulty valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulf Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 They unscrew with a valve tool, screw new one inn and reeinflate, a independent tire place would do it for £10 tops, the valves are only 50p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a rim leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
