I've managed to get a nail in the tyre, not near the edge though so should be good to get repaired.

Any recommendations in the Bracknell area? Car's not going anywhere so either a place I can take the wheel to or even better a mobile repair.

Seems to be a few in Google but wanting a recommendation for a good job.

Thanks!

Try Martins Tyres in West End, they remove tyre and check it over first.
Vulcanised repair I think smile

+1 for Martins Tyres - excellent service, but don't expect a luxury waiting room with WiFi! You tend to pay for what you get in this life!

Had a Runflat Pirelli repaired there for £10 that I used for another 10K+ miles with no issue - most places say Runflats can't be repaired. What they probably mean is we can't be a*sed as we'd rather sell you a new one!

It's a bit of a pain to get the wheel off and transport it down there so I've got Jordans attempting a mobile repair on Friday - if they can't do it here I'll try and get to Martins. Otherwise it's a new tyre anyway! frown

Hope you got it sorted OP (from what you said I assume it isn't a run-flat as you just drive those to the repairer)!

Took almost two weeks but finally sorted! Yes, not run flats and no spare.

Jordans were very good but couldn't repair the tyre, I only drove on it for a few hundred yards with the tyre pressure monitor on to get home but that was enough to damage the sidewall.

Got a new tyre delivered to Jordans and they brought it round and fitted. Very good service from them. http://www.jordansautocare.co.uk/

I just seem to have rare tyres!
