title says all
A practically new winter tyre, suffered a stone puncturing through the tread causing a full deflation in about 5mins
Angle it intercepted plus the angle of going over a speed bump at 30mph = plenty of force to enter
Too close to the shoulder or not?

I think essentially the thing to learn from this is you should know better than to listen/reply to Flisko.
Their are some dodgy garages who would hapily fix this or punctures right in the shoulder tread area, obviously though it's all a matter of safety and if it's greater than 6mm in one direction it's more like a cut

I am learning something here about car tyres! I would have thought that was an easy repair with an inner tube and sufficient new material between the tube and the hole. Car tyres are very low pressure compared to a bike and they are steel reinforced!
You cant stick an inner tube into a tubeless tyre either, so i thats not an option

but that used to be a fix for rusty rims?
if a rim was that rusty it leaked - i wouldnt want to be using it, a nasty pothole could cause it to shatter....
I cant remember why you cant use an Tubbed tyre in a tubeless though
