BTW: even without the tread wear it would be a WoF fail if the inspector noticed it.

I Doubt they would repair that it looks less than 20mm from sidewall

that close to sidewall is not safe to repair. i used to work for tonys.

That can still be repair and it be safe to repair but as long the screw hasn't cut inside wall of the tyre.

I did an emergency repair on a motorbike tyre on the west coast many moons ago.Unscrew screw, get some super glue and only cut off the very tip of the pointy nozzle. Jam that nozzle as far into the hole as you can, squeeze glue out as you pull the tube out. That repair ended up lasting over a year until I replaced the tyre and never went down. Looking at ya tyre, I would guess any tyre shop wouldn't touch it.

Most tyre shops won't touch it due to it being in an unsafe place. You could fix it, but with the tyre as low as it is I would be looking at new tyres personally.

Not repairable, but you can fit an inner tube.

+1. as above, never ceases to amaze me how people are prepared to put their or their friends and families lives at risk trying to save a few bucks.or risk their jobs and reputations by trying to do a dodgy repair. Faaark that i like to sleep at night.

Its directional so probably low profile- if its less than 70 profile theones I've seen tend to end up tearing the valve out or overheating,,, i think because the tubes don't sit true in the tyre casing or in the mags sometimes.Hard to tell their usually well ferked by the time i saw them.
