HELP! - SCREW IN TYRE

[O8ride]

Does anyone know if this is reparable, using something like this (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_974281_langId_-1_categoryId_165664) or do I need to get a new tyre.

Issue is that this is a brand new tyre anyway, less than a month old, so I'm a bit pissed off.

Other issue is that the plug in the URL above is "Not for use on motorcycles", so does anyone know of a kit that would work, or would anything be temporary anyway?

Any other advice?

Thanks

O8

You'll be fine if you do it right

You won't need a new tyre, take the wheel off and most garages will fix for less than a tenner, normally cheaper than the kits

P. S the do not use for bikes might be an issue though

I used tobe a tyre fitter for a cpl years.
Bikes (most of the time) have 'Rags' instead of steel belting. (not much steel if they do).
So you DONT have to worry about that screw, twisting+turning as u ride around, is the only thing u gotta worry about - Ripping belts.

If you goto a Auto place, you can buy the plugs kit.
I do have todo my 4wd tyre, so ifu want ill do a vid for ya???

Brill, Cheers. So it's repairable? And safe after?

Without a doubt, people fix them like it over and over again

The tyre is new anyway right?
