Dunlop Tyres - Andy P
Interesting bit of info from Car magazine and their long-term Peugeot 307. It seems that on the Dunlop Sport 2000 tyre, the inside in textured so that patches can't be succesfully glued in place. Nett result - new tyre.

Talk about a cunning plan... (also, they were charger 80p + VAT to have the old one taken away).

Andy,
Most tyres are textured on the inside, which is removed using an abrasive golf ball type tool or other abrasive material prior to cold vulcanising.
