I bought a full set of Goodyear 3's about 3K miles ago....

One of the rears now has a nail in it and is losing about 5 psi a week...... Only a matter of time here ! - (I didn't find the nail till tonight...)

What's the view on replacing that ONE only ?

Also, anyone in the Chester area know where I can get one quick, at lunch time, at short notice ???

Cheers,

Mark

Is it not repairable?
Where in the tyre is the nail?

About an inch from the outer tyre wall....

Not sure about repair - OK at speed ?

PS _ Thanks for the prompt reply !

I think an inch from the outer wall is repairable and should be repaired/guaranteed. I even had a puncture on the corner of the tread/sidewall on a Golf GTi tyre, the tyre place could not repair it but sent it away to a BS approved repairer and it came back a week later OK. Obviously no good if you have to run on a spacesaver all week.

But cheaper than buying 2 new tyres:)

How did you get on?

Cheers for the advice - I actually replaced 2.... The puncture was two separate nails on opposite tyre walls, so no repair as an option -


Never mind - as the tyres are all thats between the road and me - best be sure I guess...

Thanks,

Mark
