can you repair car tyres?

[dajones]

probably a silly question but ive had a nail or something go through my tyre on the tread bit. can it be repaired? its a brand new bridgestone only done like 1k :dapprove::dapprove:

If its not on the edge of the tyre then yes it will only cost you about a tenner to get fixed.

If the damage is near the edge of the tyre ( i think its 1cm or 1 inch in) then they won't repair it.

cheers boosh do any tyre place do that or do i need to ask around?

 

[The Boosh!]

No mate all tyre places do it.. All they do is drill through the damage and put a rubber bung thing in.

Don't pay more than £20 MAX though as the average price around here is about £12-15 pounds.

Any tyre place should do it.

I have never found a tyre place that will vulcanise a tyre! Pretty handy place to have next to you that!

Ive called my tyre guy and he says he can look at it/do it just need a lift down now

It could be too close to the wall looking at the photo buddy, you would haveto look inside to know for sure

 

[dajones]

Deadly that.

 

[Dave..]

That shouldn't have been fixed in theory, but fair enough if they were willing to do it

 

[dajones]

the tyre place had a look at it and said it was fine to repair so its been repaired. if it wasnt in a a state to repair then they wouldnt have. saved me forking out another £45 to replace a month old tyre

 

[Dave..]

What I'm saying is, they shouldn't have said "it's fine to repair"

But they've done it, so fair enough

mines like that, done two track days since, you'll be fine.
