Would you say this tyre puncture is repairable?

[Don]

As per title really. Apparently it's too near the edge to repair...I call bullshit...but tell me what you think

 

[Crybert]

It's difficult to say. I think it probably is repairable. Has it went in at an angle and potentially hit the inside of the outside if you know what I mean?

Nope, straight in. If I was to say it's Kwik s**t you'd probably say it's fully repairable but they want me to pay out (it's a lease car but it is the principle!)

Take it elsewhere? Never understand why folk goto kwik fit unless it's an emergency on a Sunday!

I have to as it's a lex vehicle. They cover costs, but I have to slum it here. Would rather go somewhere I know I can trust and I do with the 182....that doesn't touch Kwik s**t!

 

[Pauleds]

Most places won't touch punctures on the corners as quite often they still leak.

 

[Daniel]

We wouldn't be allowed to repair that. That would need to be a new tyre.

Too close to the edge to repair, by rule a tyre should only be repaired if the puncture is in the central 3/4 of the tyres tread.

 

[Don]

Fair enough gents, I just thought Kwik s**t were taking piss in their usual manner...

 

[Jamie86]

As above too close. Just look at a repair patch size and you'll see why..

 

[Snakebelly]

Yep at my mates tyre shop earlier and showed him this, not a chance was his reply, too close to the sidewall.
