Repairable ?

kitkat9933 · 7 Jan 2026 at 21:13

Can this be patched ?

Minstadave · 7 Jan 2026 at 21:16

Should be able, yes.

Rroff · 8 Jan 2026 at 05:41

How much tread depth is left on that? looks like it is almost to the point the tyre needs replacing anyhow?

The closer to the sidewall the less likely a repair will be made. Also 2 intrusions within close proximity will also call for a "professional" fix i.e. the local tyre fitter won't take a risk.

Plugged, yes.
Although it’s hardly worth the £20 or so to repair it.

Looks low on tread ?

dave28 · 8 Jan 2026 at 09:28

Looks below legal tread depth or so low that its not worth the repair cost

kitkat9933 · 8 Jan 2026 at 15:24

It's got many mm left. Bad picture.

Can we get a pic of the tyre with the tread depth markings as well?

kitkat9933 · 8 Jan 2026 at 22:03

Sure

b0rn2sk8 · 8 Jan 2026 at 22:11

Yes repairable but as others have said the tyre looks like its close to end of life anyway.

I use those 2 quid repair strips which can do 3 punctures per kit so what's that cost 66p a repair? Iv used it on my fiesta and not a single leak

Is that all the resolution you got?

Great, but it's hardly the norm is it?

Not doing them on a 1000hp car

Maybe it's a race car and needs slicks?

Ah so it is!

Looks repairable but the object looks quite wide. I had this last year where it was in a similar location to OP's tyre but no one wanted to fix it as the object was wider than 6mm.

Then why wouldn't you replace it? 1000bhp and repaired tyres sound like a recipe for a quick death...

JonRGV250 · 15 Jan 2026 at 12:12

Putting a plug into a tyre to repair it doesn’t make it unsafe.
