Coming back home last night the car tyre monitoring system indicated a leak in front R tyre. Checked it out upon reaching home and indeed discovered a nail. 1. Extracted the nail out with an orange pliers. 2. Plug in a round file to smoothen and enlarge the hole. 3. Standby the sticky worm inserted into the needle eyes. 4. Insert into the hole with some force, with about 3/4 way in and pulled it out quickly. 5. Spray some water or bubbled one to check for leak. I pumped up the tyre a bit with a portable inflatable pump and drove to a petrol kiosk to fully inflate the tyres and do a reset on the tyre monitoring system. Do note that I am on RFT and hence could drive back home. Non RFT tyre should find a safe place to stop immediately and proceed to mend the tyre. Lucky me it was the front tyre, might need to take it off if it was at the rear which would restrict the hand movements. Fun, yes, Satisfaction, oh yes.

1 tyre got punctured by nails. Patching safe? Or need to change new tyres? Tyres only can change in pairs. Don't know if its worth it. If patched up how long is the estimate lifespan of the tyre?

Hi, My front tyres feel punctured even though I just pumped them a few hours ago (ok just after pumping). However, you can't tell just by looking it them. I just feel it when driving. It's like more draggy, and the noise of the road is much higher. Am I having a punctured tyre that is deflating slowly? Thx.
