Nail in tyre! What's it gonna cost me?

[DanUK]

I think it's too near the edge too, so I imagine purchasing a new tyre tomorrow!
What does the Michelin Exalto cost on the 182? Does anyone know where I can get one in the Northampton area at short notice?
Shames as there is loads of tread left

how near the edge?

 

[LegoHead]

about 100 quid from kwik fit, but try and get them to price match mytyres prices.

 

[DanUK]

how near the edge?

About an inch and a half!

 

[TheJesus]

£17 to plug it from quick fit

as long as its on the bit that touches the road you should be ok for a repair, i have had two rears repaired now from nails.

 

[DanUK]

The nail is sitting in the gap between the blocks! Is that unrepairable?

 

[Shindig]

Hey you know what, maybe a picture or 2 would be good here.

 

[DanUK]

I'll take one tomorrow morning when it's light again, though by then I would have visited a garage anyway!
I have filled the tyre back up to 30psi so I'll see if it's flat again in the morning

most tyre places tell you it cant be fixed, so they can sell you a new one

i believe so as i'm sure one of mine if not both were like this.

if they tell you it can't, get a second garages opinio, £15 is a hell of a lot cheaper that £100 plus not many garages carry stock of the PE2.

I paid £10 for a tyre plugging.

i just got a new exalto for £70 from kwik fit after a puncture. bought 4 on their offer 25% dicount for £280. then when I had a puncture I went and told them that I paid £70 pound a tyre so they matched the price that they originally charged not realising the 25% dicount!

if you do need a new tyre and it cant be fixed say a friend was charged £70 at another kwik fit see if they'll match it!

 

[Bluersi]

Get it repaired i've had four done recently one was about 1cm from the tyre wall!!!! As has been said lots of places will tell you it can't be done to sell you a new tyre but don't listen go somewhere else. My place charges a tenner!

 

[superbenji88]
