One of my virtually new Bridgestone Pontezas (superfluous information, granted) has what looks like a gert big nail in it.
It's not lost any pressure. Should I still drive on it? Will I die?
Is there any chance it's ok?
Thanks
I had one at Christmas, just drove to the nearest garage (With the nail in) and they fixed it with a bit of stuff that looked like string!
Not had any problems. £6.
If its more then 1" from hte edge of the tyre you should be fine to get it plugged and repaired.
If its in the sidewall or close to it, it may be toast.
I've read lots of scary articles about runflat repairs.. Hmm
Were the scary articles worse than driving round with a foreign object in your tire....
^ I keep forgetting I've got the nail in there tbh and then suddenly remember I need to sort it :-/
