yup,i know but wat if it's far away from shoulder n it's 16" brand new tire ard 70% left?? i've proven 2 my customer which had d same prob which use a special type of sealant jus 2 seal up d side wall front inside n not like those u've been seeing them repair it from outside...

That is a very dangerous practice. Sealants are only temp solutions. It doesn't matter how far it is from the shoulder, even if it is on the shoulder, repairs are not recommended for long term. You can't repair a tyre from the shoulder up to the rim. Life is worth more than one tyre.

it's not a dangerous practice my fren....
not everybody is as rich as u think of....
if it's near 2 shoulder then of cuz need 2 b change but jus d side wall it's safe 2 repair... i've been repairing punture tires for 7yrs++ in my dad's workshop n no complaints... unless u wan ur own tire repair or seal it from outside then diff stories as my dad's workshop repair d punture from inside which u seldom sees it in workshop nowadays

tek ming seems to be qute good with the price rite...

whats the reasonable price for a pair of 2nd hand 195/55/15 tyre

I guess not everybody's got the "kanghu" that you have.
What could happen if the repair fails? Another flat? Or blowout?

BTW, how much is a reasonable price for Michelin Energy 205/55/R16? (Since this topic IS on tyre prices... hehe)

so ur tire still can repair n tell those guy who doesn't believe tat small hole on d sidewalls can be repaired le. . . . btw my name in chee ann not che ann

heh, sorry..typo

well, if the hole on the sidewall is small then I think less worry guar. Coz its almost impossible to damage the same sidewall area twice. Depending on how small the damage is, the tyre should still be able to use after repair. But if that person drive without giving a damn about the potholes, then I think he should change it. It all depends on the person le

p/s: I didn't damage my tyre sidewall...it was just near there. I saw the mechanic repairing the edge of the tyre. I tried to find the hole after that but all traces disappeared. So geng wan he repair
