Whats the view on whether it can be repaired location wise....i've not idea how deep it is.

That seems to be pretty close to the shoulder, it might come down to the tyre garages discretion as to whether they'll fix it.

split eye needle and gum stick should fix that

can last the life of the tyre

Thanks...

IF they can't repair it I will seek it being vulcanised though.

Frigging nightmare this situation, specially when some tt is out there carelessly dropping nails!

Used these many times on motorbikes, never had one fail on me, fix quite large holes with them too.

A repair should be a proper repair. Anything less than tyre removal and insertion of a proper mushroom shaped plug from the inside is a bodge.

Any repair is a bodge, just doing it properly is less of a bodge

Op, gum stick it.

I'm guessing you're not keen on DIY.

You could be lucky, looks like it's in at an angle, and may not even have gone through the steel wire. Depends on the screw length.

I wouldn't repair that, its too close to the sidewall. Not to say you couldn't get it repaired though.

I was going to ask the OP for the tyre size to see if the repair area falls within the BS AU159 recommendations, but it seems you've done that already. As you are clearly psychic, could you let us know the tyre section and how far in the puncture is from the shoulder?

Crikey, calm your self. I said I wouldn't repair it, if the OP brought my that tyre whilst I was working I would say it could not be repaired.

What's the issue?
