anyone know of any places in the NE that can still do a proper vulcanised repair?

I have a pop rivet stem through a brand new bridgestone 18" tyre which has penetrated a treadblock 10 - 15mm from the shoulder. i would normally scrap a badly punctured tyre but this is a perfect 2mm puncture with no tearing. i cannot believe that it would render the tyre scrap.

Any proper places left out there ?

Put a picture up of the injury, I can do a permanent chemical vulcanized repair on all types of tyres, is it a run flat?

Its a 235 / 40 / 18 Potenza

as you can see virtually new.

Pics.







Repairable? even if I can keep it in the boot as a spare to replace the old continental thats in there at the mo. The new tyre was £161 I am still smarting.
