Patching tire puncture
170 bucks for a new tyre?? I picked up a stanley blade in my last rear skin, took it to my local bike shop, he repaired it n told me it'd be ok for local journeys. I did another 4k on it in motorway and fast twisties. For a thorn get it plugged bro.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I agree that it would be safer to replace rather than repair, but I'm in college and tuition is due soon so at the moment replacement just isn't an option. I am new to tire plugging; is there such thing as a kit to fix it without taking the tire off the rim?
And so have I. It is absolutely a waste to toss out a tire with so much life in it. Unless the puncture is in the side wall or is too big (happened to me once), I plug tires. I recommend the plug that has a patch on the end (Black Jack Tire Repair CU-306-8 PATCH PLUG COMBO 1/4 STEM | StockWiseAuto). This repair does require the tire to be removed from the rime. I've had 200 miles on a tire and had to put in a plug. Hec, I've put in 2 plugs without any issues at high speeds. This repair vs. replace argument is like Ford vs. Chevy in my opinion.
If you go to Dunlops site, they say you can plug the tire.

Look at Ride On. It's a tire sealer that you put in your tires that will prevent pictures from leaking and it also balances the tire. I used this after the same thing happened to me and I didn't want a nail to ruin my new tire. Watch vids on YouTube I found it impressive and gave it a shot. Luckily havnt punctured yet so I havnt had to test it. But It sounded promising for me
