    This may hurt your wallet...but...Volkswagen service should have rubber...but it will cost a bomb mate.

          The tyre is unable to have the chemical/pin plug installed?

          But yeah, there is a member here who is a VW dealer in Canberra, see if has been active recently and pm him?

          Either that or call your local VW centre.

                  O man I'm so sorry to hear that. While we are on this topic, I just want to add that I recently did 7000 km of road trip to Tasmania and back (from Brisbane). Had absolutely no problems until the day after I got back. 5 minute drive to the local supermarket in the CBD, on a major road traveled by thousands of vehicles a day... puncture. Good luck finding the rubber.

                    Car is new and i wanna keep the same tyres on...if any of you know or have the above rubber for sale please PM me.
                    Buy something different. Those sport maxx are ****, IMO. I'm trying desperately to wear mine out so I gan get something grippy.

                      Continental contactsport or Pzero Nero? (New pirellis have such a smooth ride based on the old mans M3).
