Nail in the tyre - Dynamique - 28-05-2012 09:18pm
So, my other half was trying to park, scraped the wheel along the kerb and managed to push a nail into the tyre. Spacesaver wheel is now on and I now need a new tyre.
Any advice on where to go?

Nail in the tyre does not have to mean new tyre... It might be repairable...

yep - I picked up a screw in one of the tyres and it was repairable.

Bit of chewing gum and it'll be as good as new!
How on earth did you manage that?!

What the !!!! That's VERY unfortunate and yes not repairable as its right on the corner

I think it is a bit big. But who knows, ask in the workshop...

What price for a tyre you reckon then? That nail looks huge!

Fortunatly I wasn't in the evoque, in a zafira.
Was just going round a roundabout then thud, god knows how it got in the tyre as it was about 6" long
Luckily had the spare wheel rather than the gunk as I think the gunk might of leaked lol

I had a nail in my tyre after only 600 miles, Tyre fitter ( a friend of mine) advised a new tyre as it was quite close to the side wall. I advised him that he had better fix it as it was about 5-6 cm from the corner of the tyre. He fixed it and it has been no proplem since. Cost me a tenner instead of £200 for a new tyre.
