Woke up to a flat tyre this morning as I was leaving for work, managed to put air in and I have a plug kit in my topbox. I have done it before after removing a screw. Would this be pluggable? Brand new tyre too!

AA came out. Said it was a tiny hole and plugged it with a mushroom head. Happy days. Will take it to the tyre shop and get it looked at for a permenant fix.

Is that a pair of scissors? That might be an issue trying to plug. You might be able to patch it, or get a mushroom plug to seal it. But it may be too wide to seal properly.

Don't believe so, far too small and not the same shape. Just a scrap I picked up after visiting Screwfix yesterday. Bikes parked in my garage overnight and only used once yesterday.

You hit the jackpot, you can sell it to flat earth society and name your price 😁
