Hi,
Just got a stake in one of my newish tyres.

The tyre places will not fix it as they reckon it is on the side wall, even if high up.

I though that would be the case but was considering as just keeping it as a second spare and plug it.

Would this work? May be not legal but it is for an emergency use only. I may be towing a van at the time as well. The idea sounds worse the more I talk about it.


Interesting thing is I picked up the puncture from my TPMS. It didn't go nuts as it was a very slow leak. I noticed the pressure on the tyre had dropped to 2-3 less than the other back tyre. So pumped them up and monitored again. Notice some thing similar and investigated a bit further and found the problem.
Even though a very slow leak when I did pull out the nail it sure wasn't. The TPMS didn't save the tyre but probably saved me the pain of having to change the tyre in a more awkward situation.

You can see in the pic where the problem is.
