Well staked my drivers side front tyre at gemmy on Sunday tiny hole like less than 3mm long, tyre shop wont touch it Pro comp told me its my problem. otherwise can a shop vulcanize the sidewall (will someone do it), even if i don't run it on the road as a spare otherwise its a very expensive bit of garbage and on a uni budget i cant really afford to buy another brand new pro comp.
Cheers

take it off the car, take it down and get it done as a farm hack tyre...un regoed offroad only, dont run it as a road tyre, but as a spare should be ok, as long as its just to get you out of trouble

A few plugs and a bunch of sikaflex
(not reccomended for road used tyres
)

Any truck tyre dealer will be able to get it repaired. As has been stated a side wall puncture is called a major repair and can be done to run on the road.
