Recently went to one of the big tyre changers with my young son to get an old tyre to paint and use as a flower pot. We picked a nice one that looked almost brand new and at the time I thought it must have been binned because of side wall damage. I was surprised when I got home - it only had a nail in the middlew of the tread and would have been good for 30,000 more miles with a repair. Does anyone think the previous owner of this tyre has been duped by being told it cannnot be repaired ?
