Re: small nail in my tier

I would get it replaced/repaired as it could blow-out at any time causing an accident.

PS its Tyre

Re: small nail in my tier

if it is in the wall of the tyre it will cost you a new tyre as these can't be repaired leave the nail in to repaired or replaced

good thinking saying that its only a small nail so might take it out and see if it goes down or shall i get it changed anyway?

I would take it to ATS, they will make sure the nail is in a "safe" position and repair it. A repair will cost around a tenner.
As mentioned above, if its close to the sidewall it will need replaced.

its in the middle if i can remember mate,

Re: small nail in my tier

go and get it fixed for a 5iver.

Or leave it in and just keep making sure theirs air in it.

Re: small nail in my tier

Yeah that can be repaired cheaply

Re: small nail in my tier

thanks guys will go and get it repaired.

Re: small nail in my tier

Had a screw in the tread of my tyre for the last 2 weeks. It wasn't holding air for more than a week so got it mushroomed for a tenner ( last time I had a shroom it was a fiver but that was 7 years ago ). Phoned around and most places wanted £15.

Get it done m8. Though it's not likely to blow out it is a possibility.
