    Get yourself a repairable area gauge

    Make sure you print it at 100%

    apparently if you trim the dead lower leaves it will promote growth...

    Default nail in tyre -UPDATE

    well it turned out to be the biggest nail you have ever seen which curled inside the tyre and rubbed an irrepairable gouge out of the tyre almost coming out again!!!!

    good job i had spare tyres saved from my old car - total cost £7! for fitting my spare tyre and balancing.

    a lot will fix themselves with the nail removed, kindof re-seal themselves ( in my experience anyway )
    pitty it was such a mental sized nail

    the pic doesn't really show it but they nail was massive id say 8-10 inches and quite wide there no way it would have re-sealed. plus it had nearly worn through where it had been rubbing. oh well could of been worse - could of been my car!!!
