As the thread title is my tyre f**ked? Im guessing it is. Had to drive on the flat for 20 odd yards to get it out of the door it was blocking. This is why i should always do everything myself

Yes, but you could get it repaired, which will take a week or so. But IME it will not last. Sorry
Crap. I thought it might be
Ive had one repaired before and its still holding about 10 years later but that was a new tyre about a week on the tractor when it happened.

They aren’t very keen on sidewall repairs in my experience, but if you get it done and put a tube in it may last some time.

Try these http://www.ts-tyre-repairs.co.uk/ Excellent service nationwide, and not silly prices.
Thanks but we have a really good tyre company locally weve used forever. I might finally get the slow punctures in my quad and snacker sorted too

They do go anywhere. Trouble is tyre dealers hate major repairers and generally add on as much as possible to justify selling a new tyre, Can't beat "the fountain head!"!That's handy for north wales .
The £250 spent on a repair would go a long way to funding a new tyre ?

My experience has only been on very good condition or nearly new tyres that have had an accident, 3 of them have been in the wall, lasted the remaining life of the tyre. If the tyre is bald obviously it’s not worth it.
Id need 2 though then youd be pushing £2k for 2 38's wouldnt you? We dont do much f any road work at all. I have a 1994 international on the original tyres is expect these tyres to do 10+ years as they are
Think I paid £850 for a pair of 16.9 R 38's a couple of years ago, could be wrong though.....
Thats a lot less than i thought it would be. Ill have to see what they say when i get someone to look at it
