Tyres stabbed.
Discussion
Quite.
Of course there are always those that will claim it's a ruse by the tyre manufacturers to sell more tyres. Or reference industrial truck tyres (that do get side wall repairs) or state they've done it and been driving fine for 1,000,000 miles since.... etc etc
Bottom line, whilst you CAN physically repair a sidewall no-one who takes their driving and safety seriously would do so just to save a few quid, legal or not.

I know a little about sidewalls actually chap.
I know I wouldn't let a member of my family drive with a repair in one. I know I wouldn't recommend to someone one on a forum to even consider it, and I know that people come here as a source of reliable reference info so I don't think your post is very well judged.
Yeah.
Exactly. You know a little about sidewalls. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.I know I wouldn't let a member of my family drive with a repair in one.

Whereas I spent 25 years in the tyre industry, many of them developing repair materials and methods with the major manufacturers and played a big part in the re writing of the current BS on tyre repairs.
All you need to do is seek out the standard and read it.

It's happened again. All four tyres on our family car, a VW Caravelle done last night while we were in the evening service.
All the other vehicles in the car park were left alone. I've informed the police.
Time for some CCTV by the sounds of it...All the other vehicles in the car park were left alone. I've informed the police.
You'll probably find it's the sweet old lady who tends the flowers or something.

I heard of a similar thing on another (American) forum.You'll probably find it's the sweet old lady who tends the flowers or something.
Chap moves in to nice residential area about 3 months ahead of his family for a new job. While he's waiting for the family to arrive (they're staying to finish the school year + exams etc. in old place)he discovers a colleague is looking for a temporary place while his purchase of a flat goes through.
So, male colleague moves in for a couple of months. Outwardly nice old lady across the road gets the wrong idea, and starts vandalising their cars, spray painting "God hates fags" etc. on them and the house. They couldn't believe it when they got the CCTV footage back.
