tyre puncture

[strizzle]

Hi just found a nail in this tyre took it out and its leaking air i am wondering if this puncture is repairable or do i have to get a new tyre

very close to the sidewall so may be hit or miss whether the tyre fitters will choose to repair it.

close, but repairable.

well...ive repaired worse

Will it not be dangerous, if repaired dont want a blow out cheers

 

[Darren92]

there are hundreds of tyres repaired every day, if there were issues then all tyres would be scrapped.

Too close to the edge. Suspect it will be a new one.

I will take it to tyre shop in morning and let them give it a try

My guess is it is repairable...I had a new set of tyres on a car of mine a few years back and had a screw lodged in the front one on the way home from the tyre depot did a quick u turn back and was told it couldn't be repaired ......£125 a tyre
The chap at the depot said in all the 10 years he has worked there that was the worst case of bad luck he has seen 3 miles and written the tyre off..
Hope your tyre is repairable ....
