Roberttan 5th Gear May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 heard one should not go too fast after patching tyre we heard many thing but still many thing we not yet heard A properly inspected and repaired tyre is safe to use for street driving Not for motorsport. Many people driving with injured tyre without any problem because they did not know they had a injured tyre. After the problem occurred they thought is something else caused it (like aya this tyre lousy , or I am very unlucky may be I hit something or the tyreman did not do a good repaired job etc.) Be safe, tyres are the only 4 contacts Get a Good tyre and maintain it well with proper repaired if required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged June 4, 2013 Share June 4, 2013 Hi. Just found out one of my rear tyre had a metal object (probably about 2-3cm) sliced into it horizontally. I dare not remove it for fear the air will come out. Now the tyre still intact with no leakage of air... Question is : is it safe to drive to the tyre shop with such an object 'attached' to the tyre? Will it burst out half way at high speed or when it hits a hump? Or I better change to the spare ....? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some petrol stations have the patching services too.. Good luck! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove past there on Friday night. Something cut my tyre there and it burst straight away. It didn't even get stuck in my tyre, just cut and and pop, there goes my tyre. Oh ya, to answer your question, better change to spare first before driving off. Edited June 5, 2013 by Beehive3783 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! :) I don't agree. Continuous driving with an embedded object may actually damage the tyre to the extent of no repair. Best to change to spare before driving off.

Good luck! :) Also must depends on how serious your tyre puncture. If too flat, quite dangerous to drive cause the tyre might burst into hole.

TVT Supercharged June 5, 2013 Share June 5, 2013 Thanks for all your replies. This morning went down with wife to evaluate the situation and manage to pull out the object with a pair of pliers, after carefully analysis what was the angle of the penetration. Find out it did not pierce 90 degree directly into the tyre but was pierce across diagonally. The object was a broken long nail, probably 5-6cm long, and cuts into the tyre outer layer, creating a hole and some gaps, but not deep enough to make the air inside leak out. Will find a tyre shop in the weekend to patch up that hole and gaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the area I stayed in (Punggol) has lots of construction sites, so I guess the chances of me getting such a "bad luck" is pretty high... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_khoo81 Neutral Newbie May 12, 2016 Share May 12, 2016 Guys, do not use worm type patch if going long distance esp in my case. The worm was repaired 1 year ago and as time goes, it goes thin. The weather on tar/road is hot and cold under sun and rain that day. It happened during my drive along NS highway. Gave a pop champagne sound and left rear type goes burst. again. still can see the hole. Tried repair with slime repair kit and pump air but does not work. In the end change to my spare tyre which is also temporary type. Bad luck and dangerous esp with young kids. My advice is if can just do the proper patch repair or best change to 2nd hand punctured free tyre or new tyre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like still many had repaired by worm or injection method without any issue To me is too late to know when you have encountered it Thanks for sharing the subject And just to share with you your option other than proper repair or change to 2nd hand punctured free tire I disagree with this 2nd option because by doing so you will neglect the Quality of the 2nd hand tires. Quality of tires is key factor when choosing a tire just MHO ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
