Default Repair 4 month RE070 with nail - no pressure loss?

Looks like I have a nail in ns rear
Pressure is fine (week to week) but should probably have it fixed, or should I?

What are the "rules" about repairing/replacing across axle/car on 4x4?

These tyres are only 3-4 months old (less than 3k miles)

Can I get it repaired?
Should I replace tyres by axle?
Will I have to replace all 4 tyres? (anybody want to buy a kidney?)


Have had a poke around the tyres archive, its a 54 sti uk if that makes a difference (DCCD etc)

Yup, same mileage.
Quite close to the sidewall though, less than 30mm.

If it cannot be repaired or they advise a new tyre I would get it repaired and use them as track day tyres. The one with the puncture put on the rear drivers side as it gets the least stressed. That would mean a full new set of tyres though.
