Thank you. Just out curiosity, anyone know what can the seal inside stuff repair?
Nail puncture on Pirelli Scorpio elect tyre with seal inside
My ID4 has Pirelli Scorpio elect tyres with seal inside. Unfortunately I have a nail and it is slowly leaking air. It is right in the middle of the tyre and it seems to be a relatively long nail. Do I simply pull out the nail and the seal inside should work? Do I need to further replace the tyre if the seal inside does work anyway?
All advice appreciated.

I will still call around to see who will repair these seal inside tyres but I guess there is nothing to lose by trying to pull the nail out and see what happens.
It was a screw not a nail and about an inch long. Today I inflated the tyre to as much as I can (it was leaking where the screw was), pulled it out, moved the car to and fro a bit to push the seal inside gunk into the puncture. The tyre subsequently inflated fine and I took it around the block a few times to make sure the seal inside is in the puncture hole. So far so good.
it’s magic when it works!
