I've just got back from a week away, and on checking the car before using it noticed that the front passenger side tyre has sustained damage to the rim protector strip that runs around the wheel.
The damage is approximately 0.8 cm x 05cm and a mm or 2 deep and looks like the rim protector has been peeled back using a knife. I've checked the tyre pressures and its still spot on.
My question is, is the damage repairable and if so how? Or should I just cough up for another tyre?
Also has anybody got any recommendations for decent tyres that are more durable than Goodyear Eagle F1?s? I?ve been very disappointed with their susceptibility to sustaining damage.
Thanks for any advice.
