BEST DEAL ON NEW BFG's or can it be repaired?

Need some advice,

On the way home from work some idiot decided to take out a fence and a telegraph pole then amazingly drive away!.

After a another car had hit it and decided to sit in their car and not tell anyone it was then my turn, I managed to see the pole tried to avoid but due to length cross my path I hit the pole at about 40mph on front left jumping my xs up in the air but catching the rear tyre.

When it got light I checked my Landy and found it was ok and drove like nothing had happend AMAZING! I thought, then I remembered it hitting the pole twice so I took another look and saw it had caught the rear tyre I presume it's shot or can it be repaired by sticking/filling?.

where can I get another one as cheap as poss and do they still make the same exact type?, black circles want £165 fitted I have not got that sort of cash free just at the moment.

Mine are BFG's 265/75/R16 123/120 s kO's 2014 I believe?

If that's in the sidewall you won't find a decent tyre repairer that would touch it

Google it and you'll find new available from around £130. There are used on eBay to. Do you have a matching spare you can swop on and put a cheaper / used tyre on the spare

Look on e-bay or gumtree etc, maybe a part worn one for now I would not trust that fixed anyway?

By all 5 for £250 and sell the 4 to get your money back

Well I contacted 4x4tyres.co.uk and they informed me that KO's have now been super seeded by KO '2's' which basically are just a revised tread pattern, basically the tread runs further onto the side wall, plus their £30 cheaper, the guy on the phone was really helpful and said I'm better off putting the brand new spare KO on the truck and putting a new KO2 as spare as the KO are more exspensive as they are now only stocked or sold as individual items, so better to go for a full set of the KO2's when the time comes.

But yeah I need to check gumtree too roll on pay day lol.

KO's on the left KO'2's on right
Not much difference just tread running more into side wall.

Is it an A/T or a M/T?
If it's a M/T I have one that was on as a spare.

Hello Retrostu

Not Good...Side Wall Repairs are illegal...

If your running 'just' 4 maybe buy a new pair

get rid (recycle the damaged one) and relegate the partially worn Tyre on this axle to a Spare...

No easy fix...
