I have just noticed a screw in one of my rear tyres.
It is very close to the edge of the tread so i dont think it can be repaired
It has got 5mm of tread. All my tyres have about the same tread as i bought all 4 at the same time. They are toyos.

Do you think i could get away with just replacing the one tyre.

Any ideas on where to get a replacement.
I have checked out mytyres- £74 delivered to my house(no fitting}.
And blackcircles- £113 fitted

It seems so pointless having to throw money on something that i already had

And yes, the tyre was loosing pressure.

Obviously I've not seen the position of the screw, but have you taken it to somewhere like National Tyres? They do a patch that actually fills the hole, as well as covering it. It worked when I had a similar problem a few years back, and saved the tyre. It meets BSI regs too.

I popped down to my local tyre sales.
The screw is only about 1cm from the tyre wall and they said it could not be repaired.
A bit futher in would have been fine

Sorry to hear that Greg.

Why not get a part worn tyre put on, if you ring around you should be able to get the same tread/make of tyre and it wont cost much.

Yeah, i could do, but i would never be 100% confident when blatting down a country lane.
