Pete Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Would you believe it? After getting my wheels in the space of four weeks I've had one with a bluge which needed replacing, another one with a slow puncture and now I've gone out and found my NEW tyre flat with a bloody great nail in it! Why don't the nails ever find their way in the old tyres? So what's the success rate with repairing stuff like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttynutz Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 very easy to repair if its bang in the middle of tyre, goes to the bin, if its nailed in near the side walls of the tyre, unlucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Easy to plug in the centre of the tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 It's in the centre Now all I've got to do is find a garage that won't scratch up the rim trying to yank the tyre off like a chimp. I find it difficult in Telford to get a garage that respects your vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 If it's in the center you should be OK, make sure the puncture is repaired with a vulcanised plug patch and nothing less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
