It's a choice for sure and recommendations as always by tyre manufacturers are in the name safety.
Like for high speed highways use.
One of my front truck tyres was pucture repaired after taking tyre off, our tyre shop won't repair any other way, the process is to make the repair as far as possible part of the tyre again.
I was told by Cockpit my Bridgestone tyres are old at 8 years and should be changed.
I said can you point out any damages and tell me that the tread pattern is not deep enough.
Of course they couldn't but as tyres are one of the things they sell I don't blame them.
