Tyre Puncture/leak

[MaTTe]

if you have a spare that matches the set, then swap it onto the car, and keep this one as a spare.

If you don't have a spare that matches the set, it's time to buy a new tyre as you alread have yourself a spare..

Tempting fate is not worth the consequences. The tyre is still useable for a standard drive if/when you have troubles with another of your tyres.

Pump it up, put it on the back and burn it, at least you'll get some fun outta it!

Yeah the guys originally plugged it but was leaking from the plug then they patched a large area from inside. .. still leak. I think I going to take the majority advice and order a new tyre... damn those 19" tyres are expensive!!!!

Sorry for bumping the thread, but thought it was better than starting a new one.

I've had a tyre punctured and repaired recently. I've got a shiny new spare in the boot which probably has 0k on it. The others are ~15K of easy (relative to most other forum members) driving and look to be in good nick and have plenty of tread left.

My poor brain seems to think I should fit it to the rear, cause you wouldn't want the front wriggling. But then maybe more grip should always go on the front. Buggered if I know if ABS is per wheel or not...

So, the question is if I change the spare to replace the plugged one, should I fit it to the rear or the front?

Cheers

Dont get the ABS issues, but it does not matter where you put the tyre, if the others are reasonably good. Generally your better rubber should go on the front.

If you think it will affect your ABS you can now breath easy as it wont.
