indeed, but by which time its too late.. lol. really wanted them to last until all 4 needed, and it wasnt too far off really, safest thing is to have it replaced

yeah it looks like an agricultural repair, we call them shoe lace or dog chew  repairs  :signLOL:    type `tyre repair` into ebay and quite a few of these kits pop-up.  

And your right its best to replace  :happy2:

i think you could just have that fixed mate. you should be able to pull it out from the inside and ask a tyre dealer to repair with a plug patch.

no but...basically yes...
They wouldn't pass my cars MOT, so i had to buy two tyres. at that cost.
They could have removed the tyre seen it was a repair and put it back.. costing me nothing! but no

Havent you got ground to argue that? Surely if the tyre is still legal and has been repaired to a good standard they cant argue the fact.

Its worth a try. End of the day its cost you £285 for something that may not have even needed doing just because they couldnt be bothered to pop the tyre off!

very true. ok i ordered two tyres because they told me i had too, but they could have checked this one when it was off and seen it was a repair and put it back costing £0... or maybe even just some ££ for checking it!
