This morning i found out my tyre had a nail sticking out of it .. had to bring it to the workshop to had it done.

unfortunately. i recently purchased this tyres which is less than a month old. zzzzzzzzzz

problem now is. this nail is considered shoulder towards sidewall. which in most cases people normally say cannot repair la.. dangerous... but i need your input.. can it be saved? i dont really drive tat fast.. max also 120.. it costs me a bomb to install this new tyre..

tq

thanks guys for the great input. hopefully i can trade it in.. worst case scenario is to get a new one.

i got anothr suggestion frm a friend.. my old back tyres needs replacement soon. so ill change tat and bring it to the front.. this "puncture" tyres ill put behind.. the whole idea is to obtain steering control. which in this case if my front blows i hv none..

any critics for my above statement? (my back two tyres hv very little thread left)
