Default Replace front tyres in pairs?

I've a puncture on a front tyre, it's not in the legal repair area so

I can't decide whether to do both. that's the advice isn't it (from tyre
sellers )

Or shall I take it somewhere shifty and have a tube put in?


Do you have a spare tyre?

If you do, then one option is to replace the spare with the nearly new
tyre and then get a new pair on the front.

I would guess that it also very much depends on how much read is left on
the sound front tyre.
If it is over 80% (say) of a new tyre then it seems reasonable to just
replace the damaged one.

You could also replace both front tyres but retain the good one (if you
have storage space) against future eventualities.
