Losing tyre pressure...

[Gammaray88]

Hi all,

 

need your advice on tyre pressure..

 

last evening i realised my rear passenger side tyre was very flat. i went to petrol station and pump.. fd that only 75PSI!! so i pumped to 230PSI (17 inch).

 

This evening, i went to petrol station again and chk the pressure.. 175PSI...

is there a problem?

 

what shd I do?

 

thnx!

There is obviously a puncture in that tyre. Bring it to tyre shop and they can mend it for you

Try and pump again.If pressure drops again,then u better bring it to a tyre shop n get it checked out.U may have a problem with your tyre or air valve.

Where you stay bro?

 

South East at Kaki Bukit is open from 930-1230pm on Sunday. You can go there for tyre repair. Must be a slow leak due to a puncture somewhere in that tyre. They do internal patching. But must go early, they are normally quite crowded on Sunday.

 

Leong Seng at Paya Ubi MIGHT be open also.

Judging from the value of your tyre pressure readings, they should be of KPA not PSI. If really PSI, your car must be running on humongous tyres!

either a leak concealed in the middle of treads but cud b broken head so not obvious;

 

or some1 is hell bent to release ur tieyar pressure for fun.

there r 2 type of mending.. one which u can diy urself is to insert a epoxy resin and pray hope it works. the other more expensive method is to remove the entire tieyar, patch fr inside before sealing back.

 

the tieyar shop at balestier is open till very late everyday. just next to hotel 81 if u need to roam abt.

is it 230 psi or kpa. if 230 psi, then your tyre is ready to burst anytime..
