Just because the puncture has occurred in the minor repair area, doesn’t necessarily mean it can be mended. British standard BSAU159 also defines the maximum size of the damaged area in order to carry out a safe repair. So if the diameter of the damaged area is larger than 6mm, a repair should not be attempted. This means it may be possible to repair a tyre that has been pierced by a nail or a screw, but if the damage is caused by a larger item such as a bolt or other metallic debris, the tyre may need to be replaced. This also means that tyre damage such as splits, cuts and gouges cannot be repaired. Reference


IMHO TS better send in your car to nearest tyre shop for inspection, safety still comes first on the road yo whistling.gif
(Sorry I do not have super brain to measure the damage size through image tongue.gif )

6. Don’t overlap repairs.  If a new puncture is in the same place as an existing repair, then the tire should be replaced.  Don't have it repaired.
