So the good news is that I now know that my tyre pressure monitoring system works.

The bad news is that I know this because of this screw:



First question is whether or not people think the hole left in my tyre by this screw will be repairable in this position.

Second question is whether tyre repairs are advisable on cars of this level of performance.

Just want a few opinions before I ask someone with a vested interest on Monday.

Thanks for the advice. So nobody has any qualms about tyre repairs on high performance cars?

Sorry to sound naive but first puncture I've had for many years (except on my push bike!).

Yes, winters went back on a couple of weeks ago. My V8V is my only car and whilst 90% of my commuting is on my road bike there are times in winter when I just have to use the Aston whatever the road conditions so I figured winters were pretty essential really. Doesn't cost much to do as whilst you are using your winters your summers aren't wearing out.
