I have this Yokohama C-Drive 2, kena nails sometime ago, then fixed at a shop...cost me RM35 or so...WTF...now i realized it lose air very quickly, in a few days can see start going flat...

Is it still repairable or need to buy new tyres? My tyres quiet new...maybe 1 year+ only...

If change, then have to chane a pair also....

35 for patching holes? Other places 5 per hole only. How many holes u have?

I kena con liao...he said got cheap repair, and this expensive repair dunno what shit suppose to last. Cheebai tyre shop selling Continental tyres at Damansara Jaya there.

His cheap version of repair also dunno RM10 or RM15.

Means the shop didn't repair la

Better u take it to PJL @ Subang Perdana instead. Also a Continental shop. My tyres all from there.

try finding those tire shop that doing the inside patch repair instead.

this method can even patch hole that is a as big as 50 cents coin.

Pls post the shopp detail.

so we can avoid going to this black shop.

He mentioned inside repair also...

I think maybe i go back and demand they fix it again...if they don't or can't fix for me then only i post their details...

possible there is still hole not fully patched.

Where is the position of the puncture? If it's on the edge of the tread or the sidewall then difficult to repair reliably.

It's not on the sidewall or edge. The one i saw is in the middle, unless got other holes i dunno about.

is that any reliable shop able to repair side wall? mine being poke by tiny nail, and need to pump tyre every 4-5 days

sidewall usually cant repair already..

Me also use Yoko C Drive 2. Size 195/50/15. Last 2 days my front tyre that already have lobang and patched RM5 begin to loose air. Then I patched again RM5..still have to pump every morning. Last2 semalam went to Kapar and bought PS3 4 psc settle problem. My point is, just change it. Tyres are our lifeline when we drive our cars.

I guess you might be right....but now i am monitoring...seems not so bad wor...pumped 1wk+ i think still looks ok. I dunno what happened previously until looks so flat.

How much your PS3 bro???

suppose 7 ...LOL .... but thats quite a lot ...can consider to change new tyre already.

If the thread still a lot then maybe can tahan few more months la..mine tinggal about 25 percent then I thought just change la. Bought it at RM210 (not inclusive GST)..Jooi Seng Kapar. The cheapest I found in Kapar and Meru. Batch 1316. Surveyed almost 6 shops in Klang.

not even inside patch repair ?

inside patch for centre of the tyre only.
for side,the weight of the car compress on the side wall,the patch will leak from my experience.

Thank bro for your detailed explanation... Looks like i have to find new tyre... damn... it only uses 2 month and is rare tyre. Now i duno where to find it

what tyre size and brand is it?

Maybe the air leak this time is from different place, not the last time repair place. Some more if inside repair it is unlikely can still leak air.
Try going to pump machine with digital display, that can see if the air lesser than other tyre

Last time I also thought 1 of my tyre is punctured because the air pressure lessen a lot than other tyre after a week. After send to check they found is that the valve that causing air leak. Last time I change all 4 tyres valve together, but now only 1 valve got issue. So anything can happen.

Thanks for the advice. Will monitor the air this week and maybe go to shop to check the valve as suggested.

Repairable?

This is not side wall .
It is at near the edge , kinda of borderline case but not a condemned case .
One may give RM5 repair a try , IMO .

No problem. I got another CM out than yours. Normal patch, more than a year now.

Yeah. Just patched. Cost me rm10 🤗. So happy to repair rather than replace.

Just monitor for few weeks, as long no leak then is fine.

The price increase again? RM10 is normal patch, right? Not internal patch.
Last time i patch only RM5 at my housing area. Then last round did it at Bukit Bintang area i aasume rental issue so RM8.

Yep, if no leaks in the next 3-4 weeks , then all is good till botak .
This is 99% scenario .
Until 2 months ago , my friend's MPV tyre repair was charged rm5 in Subang Jaya .

Yes. The normal cacing patch cucuk from outside. The shop I went is at Taman Megah PJ. The sign board says 20. But charge me 10

Rm 20 listing price is a bit too high IMO, but I won't protest at rm10 really .
Btw, may I know whether the tyre man or tyre shop who did the job for you express any hesitation in the stated 'repair' type and advise you not to do it emphatically ?
