Hope it last. You have a portable pump in your car?

 

 

I had.  However, portable pump only useful if the inflation doesn't leak fast. Otherwise changed to the spare and drove to tyre shop or workshop for patching up or change is still the safe option.

The puncture still at base thread although quite close to the side-wall so still patchable.

Going forward ,  i read that there are some tyres with a layer of sealant inside such that the when there is a puncture the sealant will immediately seep to the puncture and seal it off.  Now i am seriously considering those..

 

had a friend who put tis after mkt sealant for peace of mind, not cheap thou...iirc $3xx for 4 tyres.

dun waste money on that.

it hardly works.

the way it work is, the nail must be smooth and go in nicely, when pull out, the gel come out with it and seal the hole.

But u see your case, in your case, that area got no gel, and most of the time, u dun get nice and smooth nail at a 90' angle, 

u get funny metal pcs or screws .

and only certain model of tyres come with that gel.

Have always gone to south east tyre. They do everything the same but only do not balance when they remount. But they mark the exact position. $25. Maybe my tire puny 16” so cheaper.

20' ok la.

like the labour to install a 16' tyres is 20+-

if u want install a 20' tyres, they not gonna charge u the same price, at least 80-100% higher.

since we are on this topic

what can/should I do if I kena a nail on NSHW with a slow leak? on RFT (run flat tyre)

say, after Melaka heading back to SG and I prefer to repair it in SG, no spare tyre in the car

I have a portable tire inflator

do I keep on inflating until I reach home or I inject a can of those tyre sealant + inflate

I heard tyre shop will charge extra to clean up those tyre sealant when they repair the puncture

If you are talking about pushing the worm in, definitely need some elbow strength.

Front is much easier to handle, rear is a PITA.
