Hot Vulcanized tyre repairs
Discussion
I have a nail in my 1 month old Michelin Pilot Supersport - it's just 5mm outside the range where it is classed as a minor repair, so can't be repaired by normal tyre centres.
It doesn't seem to be losing pressure but clearly I need to get it sorted.
So given that the tyre is so new and a new one is about £170 fitted, after doing some research I found out about hot hulcanized repairs where it is repaired with new rubber and baked - and then (almost) as good as new.
Apparently it only costs about £20 if you can find somewhere that does it - and therein lies the problem....
So far I've found a place in Northants (Wellingborough), and one in Staffs (Stone) but wondered if anyone knows anywhere closer - Leics, Notts, Warwickshire - given that I'll probably need to take them the bare tyre and our other car is an EV (fully electric) with limited range......!
Any help / advice would be appreciated...
