Pinhole side wall Damage - will using tubes be legal?

Post by parriehunter »

Hey,

I have found that one of my tyres has a couple of pinholes in the sidewall. I do not want to buy another new one.

would getting a tube put in be a legal way to run it?

Cheers

Pinhole as in no sidewall structural damage?
Put a tube in there and no-one would know any difference (other than seeing a tube fitted)
