Afternoon all.
So went out today to get a slow puncture on the rear off side fixed. Didnt really want to take the car to the garage so whipped the wheel off and upon first inspection there were no issues. Upon closer inspection I found a previous repair which was the likely culprit.
So I took this down expecting an easy fix but "no" the chap said unlikely to be repaired but he would try and said to come back in an hour. Returned to find they had attempted to repair but as expected the previous repair had been "overdrilled" and the plug wasn't holding.
I cant believe that 6mm is the only plug in existence and that globally we are scrapping really expensive even bigger tyres like on HGVs because the puncture is bigger than 6mm. I realise there has to be a limit so maybe 6mm is that limit?
The tyre is a PS2 fitted summer 2020 with less that 2000 miles on it and seems a shame to scrap a fresh £200 tyre.
Any ideas who could repair or is it scrap?
cheers, Ray
