Had a screw go about 2cm deep into it, think it can be repaired? I only want them to last another month or so.

Otherwise going to get a set of falken azenis rt 615s fitted tomorrow if I can.

It looks mega gay with this yellow space saver, ah well.

Easy peasy.

They'll put a tyre plug into it. should only cost about ten or fifteen bucks or so at your nearest garage or tyre shop.

a bit like this smile

these sort of tyre plugs you are talking about im pretty sure are illegal in australia

(correct me if im wrong)

now most places actually remove the tyres off the rims and plug and seal it through the inside

I had a 3cm screw in one of my tyres, took it to beau repairs cost me $25. All they did was remove the tyre from the rim, remove screw, drill out were the screw was and fill it with something. She was good to go straight away

they arent very common these days. i have a kit i keep in my car of the same one. the newer way to repair a puncture like that is to drill out the hole, apply some liquid cement, place a combi plug thru the hole, press it down then apply some inner liner sealer and snip off the excess plug

Yea it's a bit of problem as it's a daily driver, wouldn't mind if it was 15k and I used it only on weekends and stuff.

Any other suggestions?
