Tester put an advisory on the Zaf last year for a nail in the tyre. Although it was only a small brad it was in a place that wasn't repairable so I just put some leak stop in the tyre and left it. Unfortunately a few weeks later I got a 1 x 3" piece of steel through the same tyre, so that proper finished it ;D

Make that fortunately, you could have had a brand new tyre on there.
