Got a flat nail in the rear on my 748s, cna i get it reapired? it is near the centre and on a thick part of the tread.

I read some where they don't repair ZR rated tyres, but it safe to do so and they just want you to buy a new tyre.

Anyone know the score, mines only done 2000 miles.

always causes alot of debate with tyre repair issues. i have had a similar one to you repaired in the past and rode plenty of miles at high speeds afterwards with total confidence. also had a slow punture a while back and decided to put on new tyres as they had done 2k and wanted to change anyway. depends on how confident you feel and how much money you have to blow to be honest but they can be repaired and i had no probs at all with mine.

Local Pro tyre said they could do it no problem even take off the wheeel etc.

Anyone got any idea how much approx it should cost for a permanent repair including removing the wheel?
