Tire issues

[Rudeboy]

I have a small tack or nail in my rear tire. The tire is fairly new. Can the tire be patched or is it best to buy a new tire?

If the hole is small, clean, and the tire is newish I say patch away.

Others may differ.

Thanks! I'll take all the advise I can get.

Patch it.

same deal here only days before my vacation. Bought a new BT016. But will be seeing a professional tire repair man to have a patchplug installed in the punctured tire. I plan to use the repaired tire as a spare and with some sort of caution.

small nail or tack. I've pulled the object and sprayed a can of fix it flat in the tire. No one recommends this. I've never had an issue. For piece of mind; get a patch.
