Bought 4 x Goodyear Eagle F1's two months ago. Was checking pressures today and this one dropped to 23.5psi.

Please someone tell me this can be repaired! I don't want to spend £125 on another tyre, not to mention possible running issues with new tyre having more tread than the others !

Yes that can be repaired  I had a tyre on mine a month ago samething but was right on the curve of the tread and not repairable

I'm not an expert but I don't see why this could't be repaired. I'm sure someone with more experience will be along shortly to tell us more. Those little panhead screws are a proper little bitch, because the head is so big they always sit point up and then the point is so sharp as it has to drill through metal so it virtually guarantee's a puncture every time

Any where from around 1" from sidewall and sidewall can not be repaired.

Good chance it can be repaired - cannot tell for certain until tyre off rim

Depends where you take it what they have available to repair it. I had this vulcanised at a place in Bolton.

Pretty sure that should not have been repaired. But then again you can get some garages to repair any tyre.

Thislethwaites have been around for a very long time, so can't think that they'd risk a reputation for the sake of a repaired tyre. It was a proper vulcanised repair ... not one of these plugs pushed through the hole.

Would expect any tyre repair to be properly vulcanised.

Should be by law.

Patches have to be vulcanised, The difference seems to be whether it's a cold or hot vulcanising process.

Thanks all, just had the tyre repaired by the local ATS, (yes ATS)   

It was a 'plug pushed through the hole and vulcanised on the inside' repair. Hopefully it doesn't affect the construction of the tyre and is safe at high speed. Guess I will find out at the airfield meet (if there is one)
