tyre valve leaking

[wjwren]

the rubber part of my tyre is leaking air looks like a split or something. Can this be fixed DIY? Any ideas?

i had a part worn for £15 fitted

yes whole new tyre - well part worn Goodyear 245 40 19 with about 5mm on and valve. I used to pay about 35 - 40. So 15 is bargain.

dont see the problem. The tyres were part worn when I bought the car as it was 2nd hand!
Ive always had part worns. The place I get them from gets a container from Germany every week so he never knows what's in there. In Germany the tyre rules are a lot stricter, I think the minimum tyre tread is 3 or 4mm and you cant use summer tyres in winter etc also you cant use different makes of tyres on your car.
