Tack in Tyre

Buckster · 11 Apr 2015 at 19:25

found a tack in one of my wife's front tyres yesterday

pulled it out today - it was right in the corner/between sidewall and tread - looked about 1 1/2cm long or so

the tyres are pretty new (all 4 about 4 months or so)

if the tyre doesn't go down overnight/next week - is it safe ?

cheers

If it's not going down it will be fine. Easiest way to check is just put soapy water over it and see if it bubbles up.

If it's not leaking, I always put a bit of rubber glue in the hole with a cocktail stick, just to seal it from salt/water getting to the steel cords.
