Depends where in the tyre and the damage its caused as to whether it can be repaired.

As for tyre sealant, Are you having a laugh, it's not a solution it's a temporary get you home measure.

Sealant

As i travel 90 miles round trip to work ,i was asking about sealant as a quick fix if needed,lots of non lit roads and in winter can be a bit dangerous,so although i have a full size alloy spare ,i thought it could be worht carrying some ,the nail is in the tread not near the wall a there apears to be no other damage,the tyre is only a few months old .Thanks Rob

If its in the main tread, not near the corner, it can be repaired.
Provided you didnt drive on it flat also.

personally would NEVER NEVER use tyre sealant , gunges up the inside of the tyre , carry a full size spare. if have a puncture
change to spare and get it repaired same day or next ...

Would never take to ATS as all they want to do is sell you a new tyre ....(my opinon only.. ) Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Wales

Spare

Hi i have a full size spare ,so if it was in a safe place i would change the wheel,the roads i travel on are very busy motorways,and the m48 doesnt have any lights and a narrow hard shoulder ,given the age of the road ,so just thought to carry a can of holts ,I also have a air pump in my bag in the boot,i was lucky with what i thought was a nail turned out to be a short screw which came out with no puncture Whistle Thumbs Up Rolling with laughter

Make sure it is not a very slow leak over a week. These are more painful in the long term if not fixed. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
