Well annoyed, tyre went flat so took it off to pump it up and found a nail through the treaded part, seems to be staying up so must just be a slow one but well pissed off!

Can i get it repaired (nail right through a groove in the tread) or is the tyre a write off?

Cheers, Richard

if the nail is on the tread you should be able to get away with a repair.

They put a flanged rubber plug from the inside of the tyre - its a safe repair.
