Gutted. That happened to the missus a few weeks ago, a brand new Continental. A screw just on the wall, she had to have it sent away to be repaired 'cos the garage couldn't do it, still cost £25 for a repair. I just guess it depends where and how big the whole is.

When I got a nail in mine, new tyre required...

Apparantly nails in some parts of the tyres should not be repaired...

anywhere near sidewall ...new tyre...

I spose some places will give you <sharp intake of breath>

"Well I could repair tyre there mate, but it could blow at any time.."

then make you buy new one when not needed...

...check out tyre net sites on punctures...try www.theaa.com, best to go armed with info so you don't get ripped off....

if its gone into the tread and preferable at rightangles then it can be repaired easy

if its come through the tyre wall then its scrap basically
