quote: Yes, they put a rubber plug with a grommit on the end from the inside end, so that the plug never comes out, then its sealed in. This can be done in most cases unless the puncture is on the edge tread on the tyre then it can't be repaired | |

Take it to a tyre place, i've had about 6 punctures and only 1 meant i needed a new tyre | |

be careful of driving on a puncture, it actually causes damage cuz u end up stretching the hole thats their which will eventually mean new tyre time! | |

Try and take it to an independant tyre place other than ATS etc. The big places usually have a set price for repairs like that whereas the smaller places will charge a few £ here and there. | |

Yeah, unless the hole is in the tyre wall, it will prob be repairable. | |

if u kerbed it - and broke the seal around the tyre - just take it to any tyre place - get them to check for punture, if it is the seal - remove it - refit and deal - balance - job done | |

how much would that cost adam? I think it was caused by me kerbing it slightly against the same kerb twice in 2 days so it could be it needs to re-sealed. | |

Yes, you use that tyreweld to get you home if you get a puncture, the tyre is then a writeoff so to speak | |

I've got a very slow puncture in my rear left tyre... The other day (after not driving for a few days) I noticed my tyre was flat and I checked the pressure and it was at 2 PSI lol... |
