Nail in tyre is it dangerous?
Discussion
Just noticed a nail in my tyre and it seems to have deflated slightly. Firstly do you think it is in a position where it can be repaired or is it too close to the sidewall, its maybe 1.5" awaySecondly, is it ok to drive it if keep it properly inflated. There is a tyre place across the road from where I live I can go tomorrow but it means driving home on the motorway around 10 miles

What are you talking about?
A heat ring?
Just noticed the side wall, it is a Davanti.
Just change the tyre for one that actually works.
I'm not sure either. Think it may be an American term. It means when the tyre is driven at low pressure it can damage the wall and looks like a ring or something. What's wrong with davanti. The tyre centre near me who I was going to go to in the morning put that tyre on for me last time for £60. I asked is it a decent tyre they said yes A heat ring?

Not sure may do somewhere. Although it says only when purchased through davanti approved dealers and when I enter my postcode my garage doesn't show Took it to the tyre shop near me. They said it needs replacing as it won't fit in the machine as it's too close to the edge. Maybe somewhere else could have replaced it. They then pointed out to me that my pads were very worn and then upon further investigation the disc needs replacing and that the calipers are seized. Said I'll think about and it took it to my mechanic who checked it over. First said that he thinks he can save the calipers but when he came to do it found out they needed replacing. So the other place wasn't lying but at least my mechanic was cheaper.
I guess if I had taken it to one of these small tyre places that don't have ramps, yes they probably would have repaired it however the issue with the brakes would never have been noticed
