Always thought they are good enough for balls and bicycles only. Is it very difficult to pump up car tyres?

This conventional idea of using tyre plugs to mend punctures is getting out of date but this Japanese company has further improve this method so much so they have pattern this idea in almost worldwide.Patching from inside is time consuming and need the use of tyre changer, resulting in higher labour charges.

Yup, what others mentioned is correct. leave the screw there. Do not take out yourseld. then just drive to a WS and get them to repair it. $10 to screw the hole is standard rate.

This doesn't sound right too..

Yesterday I was doing my usual check on the car before driving off when I saw a screw embedded in my rear tyre.

 

dunno if i'm suay or what, but this is the second time in 6 months. The last time I got a screw in my tyre, I gong-gong went to remove it without much thought. And once I removed it, I could hear the air leaking from my tyre, and it become flat in no time. Ended up having to change to a spare tyre in the car park before I could drive my car to a tyre shop.

 

So this time, I'm wondering, apart from removing the screw, any way to check if the screw is embedded deep enough to cause an inflated tyre? if removing the screw is the only way to check, then i guess the safe way is to drive to a tyre shop first before removing the screw? can save the trouble to changing to spare tyre if indeed there is a flat tyre.

 

Also, would there be any problem in leaving the screw in the tyre until the weekend before doing anything about it?

 

ya man.... i also kenna twice is past month... wonder why huh? i drive mainly in central area, must be all those building construction going on....

 

anyway, yeah, better drive to tyre shop for them to take out and patch, don't do yourself.

 

similarly if you kena stabbed by ah beng, don't remove the knife yourself, go hospital let them remove it. otherwise same principle, your blood or punctured organs will all leak out
