Hi Everyone,

Just need some advice, I got a puncture on my 275/30/19 (rear right) by a screw.

Car is a rear wheel drive Skyline 350GT

New Tyre = $250

Re-seal= $10

Would you call me Crazy\Stupid if I used a re-sealed tyre on a track day at Eastern Creek??

yes. more than likely to go again under high loads. I for one would not trust it.........

no insurance on the track. what if it pops and rolls the car??

keep the tyre as a spare, once fixed. use a new tyre on the track.

to me it dependds on where the puncture was on the tyre and how big etc. if it was anywhere near the shoulder or the sidewall then forget it. but if it's on the face of the tyre it may not be such a bad thing. if you get it taken off and do a proper inner repair where they patch and vulcanise it etc it should be fine. it's your safety though so if it worries you then don't do it.

Need to make a point of difference between a plug, and removing the tire and patching it from the inside.

Track a plugged tyre? HELL NO.

Track a tyre that had been removed from the rim and a patch applied? Well that's up to everyone's opinion. I wouldn't have a problem doing anything on a tyre that had been patched properly but if you're paranoid then don't. Your safety, your call.
