No patch. Its a new tyre about 7 months old.

laugh.gif Same case with my KIa forte KUMHO tyre (factory stock about 1 year GONE CASE)....my piece of advice, after seeing few cases like this (happened to my brother as well) don go for cheap tire unless unless you are really tight on budget.

Mine happened during traffic jam....it didn blow up coz the car wasn't moving when it happened. i just feel kinda weird to the car why it kept pulling me to a side.

Anyone tried Turanza GR100 or other quiet tyres yet?

Afaik Michelin doesn't carry 225/45/R18, so ST3 tyres are out of the question.

I've have enough of this noisy nexen tyres already.

Dont know why ppl all raving about nexen tyres. Thr was once a period whr everyone was changing to Nexen tyres and my friend asked me whether to chg to Nexen tyres, I told him Korean stuff dont and cannot last long .

Luckily he didnt change. Pls pls just avoid Nexen tyres . Worst tyres ever!!
