Repairable?
Re: Repairable?
Looks a little close to the edge, but it depends upon how much damage there is inside the tyre. Always worth a try

Re: Repairable?
Wouldn't think so, puncture repairs can only be on the centre three quarters and that looks right at the edge. Expensive nail by the looks of it unfortunately
Re: Repairable?
A shop won't do that one.
You could try a DIY mushroom kit for ATV's as they hold up pretty well

Re: Repairable?
You might be able to find a garage that will repair it, but many wont I'm afraid!

Re: Repairable?
And really - does the risk of a blow out at high speed and the safety of you and your passengers outweigh a few bucks? When it comes to brakes and tyres, there can't be shortcuts.

Re: Repairable?
Repairs in the shoulder area are ILLEGAL on any tyre under BSAU 159f.

Get rid of the tyre and buy a new one. Cheaper in the long run.

Re: Repairable?
Cheaper than it blowing out and causing lots of damage. At best case scenario, you'll have to pay your insurance excess due to minimal damage. At worst case... I wouldn't even like to think about it (think non monetary cost... Like safety...)
Re: Repairable?
But your "long" is not guaranteed it is just a risk

Re: Repairable?
Personally, I wouldn't want the hassle of a repair I'd just replace it (which I did on the old X5 when same thing occurred.)

You have too much money..............
........but agreed. I'm not a fan of them because I drive my cars hard although looking at how they are repaired I think you would have to be very unlucky for something to go wrong!!
