Wow, that's bad luck. I got a puncture last month, nail went in at an angle so non-repairable. And as my rears were down to 3mm that was a new pair of RFT.

Oh for the days when a new tyre cost £40

Congrats! Tourings are so cool!

Mine are Goodyear Excellence, which I've heard awful things about. Being extra careful with regards to potholes etc. but it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Mine had Conti's which were o.k., but limited (i.e. no) supply when I got the puncture meant I had the option of Goodyear or Bridgestone.

Bridgestone it was.

Alternative was to have your 165 x 15s vulcanised for a tenner...I think some guy with pointy ears squeezed your tyre between his thumb and fore finger
