thanks guys for the great input. hopefully i can trade it in.. worst case scenario is to get a new one.
i got anothr suggestion frm a friend.. my old back tyres needs replacement soon. so ill change tat and bring it to the front.. this "puncture" tyres ill put behind.. the whole idea is to obtain steering control. which in this case if my front blows i hv none..
any critics for my above statement? (my back two tyres hv very little thread left)
