   Hit a big pothole last night now got a slow puncture. Just wondering if ill be able to get it repaired. Was brand new tyres fitted 3 week ago on nimrod alloys and im very pissed off money is tight enough at the moment. Cant see any marks on it anywhere. alloy is probably bent only had em balanced day before aswell. Do ya think it will be repairable. Any tyre fitters to give advice??

   What i want to know is can they repair tares or rips in the tyre. As i imagine thats what damage a hole will cause.

   Rips are easiest to repair -just get the needle n thread out do a bit of stitching. Or call the council I'm sure they will drop everything and bring you a new tyre without hesitation.
