Just noticed i have a screw through the tyre and will need a new one tomorrow 🙁
Have tried a few sites like black circles, tyre saving (etc) and non of them are offering fitting before the middle of next week? Is this the norm? The savings are pretty substantial compared to what i could get in kwik fit or halfords
where abouts? if it's not in the side wall or outer tread then it should be fixable at a tyre place.
If you've a standard size you shouldn't have a problem getting one fitted anywhere - you'll just need to ring around for a price.
If it's something different, then...
Never mind the websites, pop and see your local tyre place, and they should be able to do something, either puncture repair or new tyre.
Benji +1
Local is good
+2 local.
Mine can have the tire delivered same day if he hasn't got it in stock. Will match / get close to black circles et al on price too.
Will try the local ones then
Incidentally this is the location of the screw, does that look to be in a place that is repairable?

Yes, repairs in the shoulder of the tire can't be repaired. That should be fine
Repair not a problem there, and plenty of tread depth/life left in it. As long as you haven't driven with it flat for a while, so it damages the carcass really see no issue with a repair.
thats potential good news then 🙂
I got a tire repaired just the other month, screw was in almost exactly the same position, I got it fixed for £12.50 so it is definately the cheapest option.
Had a few punctures myself. I think they normally don't fix them if it's in the side wall. That looks fine. Had them fixed for £3 in the past, though that's going back about 10 years.
Yes, that's repairable IME.
If you do want a new tyre, [url= http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/ ]Event Tyres[/url] and good and will do same day (or first thing next day) provided they can actually get hold of the tyres you want. Managed to cut straight through the sidewall of a tyre going into my drive, booked at about 4:30pm and they had someone to me for 8 the next morning.
If you decide not to get it fixed, try www.tyreshopper.co.uk
I'm pretty sure they are part of National Tyres so ring your local National Tyres depot to check stock of what you want and then order through Tyreshopper. I've done that before and has the tyre fitted same day.
Had the same thing last week - screw through tyre, dropped it of at National just down the road from the office and they fixed it free of charge. They also put me 2 new ones on a few weeks ago - they had what I wanted in stock and it was done within 30 minutes of me phoning for a quote, looked online and they were cheaper than black circles.
Top service from those lads, they'll be having my business from now on. I'd give em a shout if there's a branch near you but they may not all be as good.
