Default Damn screws!!!

Just got a set of Bridgestone BT014 for the bike, only had about 300 miles on them and got a nice screw in the rear tyre . It made a rip about an inch long along the centre of the trye. Is it possible to plug the hole or am i just better buying a new rear tyre for the second time in 2 weeks? Dont want to if i can help it but it looks like i may have to.

that much damage not a chance of fixing it, even if you could, the tyre would be structually unstable.

Sorry, you need a new one.

Cheers Mark.
