• I have a BMW with xdrive. There is a large nail in one of the tyres. The garage is telling me I have to get all 4 done as their can't be a greater than 2mm tread variance between tyres because it'll fuck the xdrive system. Anyone got insight into this? Do I really need to change all 4 tyres

  • There is a large nail in one of the tyres.

    Is there damage to the side wall?

    If not I can't see why you can't repair it with a standard tyre repair kit.

    If it were a sharp jagged object or a cut/tear in the side wall, then I'd be cautious. But a normal nail that's made a normal clean nail sized hole? Just plug it with a kit like this CAR VAN TYRE TIRE PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT WITH 15 STRIPS BESTSELLER https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ISFJVSG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5GR3DbN0C51Q6

  • I don't know if I can repair it. Run flats. Fuck knows. I'm going wallet out, safety first and replacing.
