Found this in a tyre this morning, it has a v slow puncture. New tyre a few month back .
Question is - is it too close to the edge for a repair? .(Blackaround the screw is where I made it wet to see if it was leaking)

Always run all my vehicles with that if you notice a small screw like that which will have done no damage to tyre just unscrew it and drive on or jack up and spin the wheel it'll seal its self in minutes not to late to add it now before you take screw out.a pot of oko tyre sealant can be handy.
Tubes are elegal now in a tubeless tyre,things have moved on.To close to the sidewall. A repair wouldn’t last long and would let you down at the most inconvenient time. You could get away with plugging it and fitting a tube. Putting it on the rear would put less strain on the sidewall.
Oko will not seal if close to side wall,a mushroom plug will work,i used to fitt tyres.Always run all my vehicles with that if you notice a small screw like that which will have done no damage to tyre just unscrew it and drive on or jack up and spin the wheel it'll seal its self in minutes not to late to add it now before you take screw out.

So do I and mushroom plug isn't any good if one side of it partly comes up the side wall OKO will do it as long as punctures in the tread areaOko will not seal if close to side wall,a mushroom plug will work,i used to fitt tyres.
Looks ok to me but as you say best to let a good fitter take a peak.So do I and mushroom plug isn't any good if one side of it partly comes up the side wall OKO will do it as long as punctures in the tread area
