Fixing puncture of a ZR rated tyre

[darrsi]

They're basically just covering their own arse, which is fair enough when you think about it.
When i thought i had a puncture the other day i phoned my mechanic and he was willing to repair my tyre for me, but fortunately it turned out to be a flesh wound so i didn't need it done.   


I don't think it's illegal, but these are the recommended guidelines, so it's a discretionary thing.
