Tyre and nail question

[Mancmilks]

Hey,

So i got a TPMS warning last night for the front left tyre. Unfortunately i have got a nail deep into my front left tyre.

Question is, do i get a tyre repair done as it is in the centre of tyre and nowhere near tyre wall (cheapest option) or do i just bite the bullet and get a new tyre? The tyre has plenty tread on so almost feel a waste getting a new tyre but if having a repair done causes issues or doesn't last too long id rather get a new tyre.

Anyone had a tyre repair done? and has it lasted the length of the tyres life?

Thanks in advance guys!

A repair in the centre of the tyre will be fine and if done properly will last the life of the tyre. Had quite a few over the years.

Perfect, thanks for the swift reply!

I would also get it repaired

Same here - repair of a centre hole is simple and reliable.

.........as above have it repaired. When you see how it's done it is just about impossible for it to fail.

Thanks guys! Its all done now! Hopefully no more nails!

Around £10 for a repair versus the cost of 2 tyres (you should really replace the pair) = no brainer!

As above - repair mate. As long as the nail/screw hasnt compromised the tyre structure or wall structure = repair everyday of the week.

And deff agree with @Bobblejones - replace 2x at a time on Quattro to avoid strain on the train over time with uneven tyre circumfrences etc.
