Is this tyre repairable

I'd like to know if you think this tyre is repairable. It has lots of tread still and hasn't gone down in days.

The nail is much longer than it looks.

I'd really appreciate your opinion.

I have attached a picture:

Nope is the short answer. You can only repair a given percentage of the width of a tyre, damage to shoulders or sidewall and it's for the bin.

Unfortunately not, and driving it with the screw in situ is incredibly dangerous.

Doesn't it go "not in the sidewall" but "OK in the tread"? I know the OP will have done something months ago but that is in the tread :unsure:

Usually any damage within the outer quarter of the tread is non fixable.
It's deemed as likely to have compromised the integrity of the tyres structure.
I had a screw in the outer inch of the tread this week and was unfixable.

Is it wrong to say if it were mine I would have fixed it and continued to use it lol
