Just got a puncture, it’s very tiny hole but noticably leaking right on the thick tread. Still relatively new tyres. To keep it going till tomorrow, Monday, was going to use a temporary kit. Will this make it awkward for the professional repair? Either the stuff you screw in or even tyre weld

    You would be better off taking the tire for repair. Please do not use the stuff that you pump into the tire.

    Get one of those plug kits with the two T-shaped tools, vulcanizing fluid, and the rubber strips. That’s the same thing the pros would use. Use that then cut off the excess and you’re good to go. If you want it to be technically correct, take it to a tire shop and have them put a patch behind it, but millions of people just plug it and call it a day there with no issue.

    Don’t use any liquids or sprays or whatever, they’re not a permanent repair and the mess it makes will annoy the tire tech.
