Tyre repair

nsa0bupkd3948x · 2017-01-20 15:17:54

I have three slashes on a tyre from last night. Could these be plugged/repaired or should I replace the tyre?

They're all in the 'depressed' bit of the thread. About 2cm long each of them. Tyre empty its air straight away wasn't a slow puncture at all!

If its in the central 3/4 of the tread then yes it could be repaired. A proper plug patch may do it although with that damage the plug bit is kinda redundant. So even a patch internally would work. Tyre may not live long after due to water incursion into the steel belts though.
