I've found a lump in my front tyre

[danza]

No medical threads!

Oh wait... yeah get that replaced.

...before it gives rise to a medical thread.

 

[matthab]

Seriously you had to ask? Get it replaced or kill it with fire.

 

[shauncr91]

Just hit it with a hammer and it'll pop back in.

Given the large chunk of alloy is missing in the same place as the damaged lump, I guess you hit a kerb pretty hard.

Owie.

 

[kaptainmarc]

cut the lump out and use a plaster over the hole?

It's a queen wasp, my uncle kills them for a living.

Owie.

Or is a serial kerber

 

[Hamish]

OK, cheers, guess it needs replacing!

Yeah the wheel is kerbed a bit, I live on a narrow street with some nasty kerbs There aren't any dents though.

 

[robbiemc]

Repair it? Sure, they'll just cut out the damaged piece and nail on a new bit.. Did you really have to ask?

 

[233]

pfft any tyre place worth their salt should be able to repair that,


they don't like to so will tell you it cant be fixed so they can con you out a new tyre.


tell them you know all about the reverse vacuum repairs they do and they'll see you right

 

[wesley]

lower the pressure and the lump will go

 

[Sindri]

Your tyre is just pregnant, I've got a spare coat hanger if you want to sort that bump out.

 

[leigh_boy]

did u hit a pot hole or leave it parked badly on a kurb?

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

found 3/4 of these on the inside of the rear wheel
new tyres already on

 

[Luke]

Less tyre shine, more parking practice.

 

[snapdragon69]

Looks like the results of 'parking by feel'.

 

[iAustinMark]

Looks to me like it's been pinched on the kerb.

 

[Fuzz]

That's what's known in the trade as ******
