Screwed Tyre (Literally) - Options?
Hi guys,
Tyre was losing air so I took it into the local tyre joint to have it looked it. Appears that there is a screw that is pretty border line to the sidewall - which is deemed not repairable. Sent a photo to a mate who use to work at KMart Auto, he said if done properly can be repaired as these are pretty new tyres (I've had them for probably 2 months).
Basically I suspect I have 4 options here:
1. Take it to my mate or a another repairer to see if they can fix it.
2. Live with having the screw in the tyre for the remainder of its life, pump it up when necessary (sounds awfully painful)
3. Replace the single tyre with a new Pzero (Ouch).
4. Have a pretty mint Goodyear F1 Directional 5 on hand, which as done very low KMs as well (my luck with cars have been so so) - replace the single corner with this.
Just like to see everyone's thoughts on this, and thoughts of having a single mismatched tyre of the same size etc.
