    Gutted :( bought a new rear tyre three weeks ago. Tonight find a small tack dead centre of tyre. Just see silver head of tack. Rode home never noticed, but checking tyres tonight for a ride out on Thursday and found it was 15psi. Is repair an option? or another new tyre :grumpy:

    Just get it plugged properly (mushroom from inside, rather than the kind you carry under your seat for emergencies)won't be a problem. Had same problem a few weeks ago on mine, cost 15 quid.

    yeah I'm sure a plug would be ok here. Get along to a pro tyre place and ask them to inspect…they are normally ok in the centre ,its the side walls where they can be tricky to fix….
    If your near warrington theres TST TYRES who get high recommendations on here
