I had mine resealed they just spun them on a jig then applied some magic to the milled surface and they were excellent afterwards. 20 quid.


They seem to use some form of sealer these days. I was having two new
tyres fitted to the old car when the fitter took a phone call after
applying it to one wheel. And was on the phone for ages. He didn't apply
more, and that tyre leaked. The other OK. Had it re-done and it was fine.
