Reckon they're like that so you make sure that you get your proper tyre's puncture fixed as soon as possible. And that as it's so obviously awfull you don't forget it's on and try and beat any chaved Corsas from the lights!!

New set tomorrow me thinks

TBH they are worn, to repair it would be false economy, as they really should be changed.

invest in a full size 5th wheel/tyre and stick it in the rotation. If you get a bad puncture you can carry on with 4 wheels then until they're ready for
replacement.....

I asked at a local garage once and they said £160! "Because its unusuall and only made by big brand names" So I put a new tyre on my alloy and have never asked again. Was maybe 3 years ago now tho.

Anyone heard of this stuff ironically called "phlat 4". They were flogging it on Ideal World shopping channel for £20 plus postage. You let your tyres down pour this stuff in via the air valve and reinflate. If you get a puncture whilst moving it immediately seals up the hole. Meant to be a fix for the life of the tyre no matter how many puncture holes it gets. Looks good, I'm on the verge of getting some.

If you then get a puncture that the 'system' can't deal with then it cannot be repaired in the conventional way At ~£10 for a conventional repair I would chance it. (Only 1 puncture in 55000 / 3 sets of tyres)

Funny this thread because my Scooby is also currently sat at home on the space saver. I have a wheel / tyre in the back of my girlfriends Megane with a screw sticking out of it 
Going to get it repaired by the local tyre place at lunchtime hopefully. I'm also not a big fan of puncture repairs but the tyre is only a few months old. Annoying to have to shell out on a new pair of tyres as these are barely worn so I think I suffer the repair and just keep a good eye on it
