Puncture repair
Hi
Found my car had a puncture this morning, so had it repaired today at Kwik fit.
However in the middle of the tread where the puncture was they have left a 2 inch long rubber pipe sticking out from the tyre.
This is the repair but should it not be flush?
Should i cut it off or just leave it?
Dont want it to come out when i'm driving on the mway and stuck with a flat tyre.
Thanks

Leave it as it is or snip it flush with the tread if you prefer. Either way it'll wear itself flush soon enough.
What you can see is the end of a plug that's fitted from the INSIDE of the tyre and is attached to a patch on the inside that's too big to pull through the hole (and is glued in place anyway):

Good old kwik fit performing a faultless job again. It should be cut off before the tyre is balanced, i trust they did balance it?0

70mph on a wet motorway, I don't think I would want to trust my life with that kind of solution.0
