I have seen a house brick trapped between the back two wheels of a tuck before. Needless to say I backed off a bit in-case it flew out.

LMAO, worst issue Ive had in the past year with the VW is a nail in a tire that was also unbalanced. Local Hindu tire techs fixed both issues for $10, :lol: Thatll need an internal patch for sure--and if enough threads are damaged, may not be repairable.

I suspect its not repairable anyway. Retreading is allowed in the UK, but they have to select the tyres carefully. anything like that probably isnt going to be worth bothering with I certainly wouldnt put my life on it at 70mph.
Needs a new tyre.

Ouch
Anything over 3mm in diameter is a new tyre, says the Internet.

Depends really on what the cords look like. Those mushroom shaped patch-plugs can often work wonders. ;)

simmilar thing happend to me once.... but witha bit of wood !
driving along quite happy, sudernly theres a noise on the back end.... I suspect its just comething stuck in the alloy etc... by the way its making the noise.....
I get out and it all looks fine... (was parket ontop of it), drive another 10feet and look again.... there;s a food 8 inches of wood sticking out of the tyre :(
I was pretty pissed off tbh, weed ? wtf, why didnt it just snap instead of digging into my brand new tyre ?
