MrDibble Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Unfortunately not, and driving it with the screw in situ is incredibly dangerous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trillionz Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 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.£155 later [emoji17]Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
