Ring round local tyre places and see if anywhere will repair em, I phoned around about 10-15 places locally and only one did them so it pays to ring around.

Alternatively you can do a temporary repair yourself and they've been known to last the lifespan of the tyre, but not sure if I'd personally be comfortable with that really

Some bike tyre places won't repair tyres of a certain speed rating which yours probably is so I'd second the ringing around thing.

135 mph is a bit fast though isn't it. Don't answer that.

I don't come on here to lead people up the garden path.

Do me a favour and tell me the speed rating of your tyre.

Yeh if it's ZR rated which it probably is then most places won't touch it, but as I said I did find one place that would.

If I have translated your post correctly, you have a nail in your relatively new tyre?

Been there done that:



My advise, change the tyre take the hit on the wallet. I would only ever treat a repair as a temporary get me home fix. I would not risk the chance of failure.

As long as its not damaged the inside .Thats more likely if you went any distance with the thing flat.& not close (within 25mm)to the side wall. A plug and patch will hold it.
Its finding some place to do it for you that is the diff bit.
