Depends whereabouts in the tread they are..........  If they're approx. in the central 3/4 of the tread area, then they should be ok to fix, if they're too near the sidewalls, then it's not safe to fix them (although some fitters still may do it for you??).

As already said mate, if the nails are close to the side wall, then I'm afraid you'll need a new tyre.

New tyre.  :angry:

Got the one off the spare on so haven't got a tyre on spare. It's a decent one though. going to have to order one in a second.
