So, after ~800 miles I noticed yesterday that the rear tyre on my new street triple r had a nail in it :(

Rang up some places today and was told by two different garages that you 'can't' repair these tyres (Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro), add in the fact that after just that small mileage there's noticeable wear/squaring of the tread which isn't great as I can do that mileage in 2 weeks ¬_¬

So, I've got two options it seems:

Get a new Pirelli tyre, maybe get 1500-2000 miles from it,

Buy a pair of new tyres and sell the front Pirelli for a bit of cast (realistically looking at £20-30 I think)

I'm tempted by the second option, and looking at the street triple forums it seems the Dunlop Road Smarts are quite well regarded, especially for mileage which would be good.

But does anyone else have any opinions, or anyone here used the road smarts?
