    Hi guys,

    Discovered a flat tyre on on my car and was able to spot a nail in the middle pretty quickly.

    Do you reckon this can be repaired and approximate cost? Or am I looking at a new tyre here?


    Thanks!

    That should be repairable imo.

    If it's in the wall of the tyre that's when it's time for a replacement.

    That's repairable alright. Not sure how much it will be to repair though but can't imagine it being much.

    Cool, that's what I was hoping for. I've put the temporary tyre on so I'll get it seen to tomorrow.

    Thanks guys!

    Yeah, it's a quick fix. They just add a patch on the inside or plug it.

    This is what I do myself. Preferably a patch on the inside
