This morning i found out my tyre had a nail sticking out of it .. had to bring it to the workshop to had it done.

unfortunately. i recently purchased this tyres which is less than a month old. zzzzzzzzzz

problem now is. this nail is considered shoulder towards sidewall. which in most cases people normally say cannot repair la.. dangerous... but i need your input.. can it be saved? i dont really drive tat fast.. max also 120.. it costs me a bomb to install this new tyre..

XM2 is affordable.

I got it cause i wanted to spend abit more to get good tryes.. not on the pretext i can afford to get another one.. of the 4 tyres. i only changed two. to saved up for another set 6 mnths down the road.

Better have it changed, try ask the shop what is the trade in value of that tyre..

my car just got nailed by same screw/nail like urs yesterday.

go to tires shop and they charge rm5 to tampal it..

need to survey new tires coz my rear tires already botak..

The tyre looks new lolz...kesian..

Anyway why did u pulled out the nail?? Should have leave it there..

If ur spare tyre has almost the same condition then u can swap it and repair this as spare

well i had a situation like this, my tyre is ONE day old. i changed a new one.

the price of tyre is way cheaper, than the cost of repairing car and life.

you can ask mechanic to patch the tyre from inside

ts no worry for it. tyre shop sure can fix it using 'injection' method.
n its only cost u rm5. seriously, try ask for it.

Dude.. we know abotu the repair.. but this is kinda borderline sidewall, which most will tell u its not advisable to repair...

Still can use but don't over inflate it. Keep it s 220 kpa.

thanks guys for the great input. hopefully i can trade it in.. worst case scenario is to get a new one.

i got anothr suggestion frm a friend.. my old back tyres needs replacement soon. so ill change tat and bring it to the front.. this "puncture" tyres ill put behind.. the whole idea is to obtain steering control. which in this case if my front blows i hv none..

any critics for my above statement? (my back two tyres hv very little thread left)

ruzty u are here too.. already answer u in Kopitiam.. seriously, tyre is ultra important for safety...

bro, my ONE day old tire is

3 times more expensive than yours.

and i still change.

not because i rich, but if anything happens, money is not an issue already.

actually, if u call tow car also, the cost is more than your tire dy.

thanks man. i needed more input cause not all car enthusiast will visit kopitiam. and kopitiam has allot more visitors.


i know bro.. problem is i saved quite allot for this tyres.. and everyday in my head ill try and save for another two to change soon.

everyday after i park my car ill inspect if my tyres are alright.. and now this shit happpens..

i know.. penny wise, pound foolish.. guess i hv to bite the bullet huh..

we know u rich... can burn rm600 in a day
