Should b bad luck, cos i recall last wk on tpe, felt some "bump" like tio small pothole but i did not notice or saw any pothole along tpe, and can feel e steering went lembak for a split sec but all normal after tat, after reach home chk e car but did not notice anything out of e norm and thought nothing of it until i went pump air 2day (normal routine end/beginning of mth will pump air).....e tyre looks normal and no "pang-chek" look.

1 front n 1 rear, diff side

Same type and length of screws?

Oni found out when i go top-up tyre air pressure, but alr hav a bit of "funny feel" on e steering during e last few days.

Me.  Just earlier this week.  But it is the same tyre.  One is nail n one is small metal part. 
 

went to tyre shop n take out. The metal part is on the edge. No leakage.  
but for the nail , got small leakage n  repair it. $8 with one free packet drink from the boss.

Gone case. Sidewall is very thin.

Yeah definite replacement. Get the tyre shop to quote tomorrow. 

Don't really want to struggle with spare tyre and all.

Important all is safe.

BTW the tires look "old" and dry from the pic.(I may be wrong.. sorry) ... just wondering how old is this tire? mileage seem low though..

I think original tyres. Maybe 3 years liao?

I kanna same last year. Turned there so many times also no issue but sway sway that day, hit kerb and sidewall gone case. Luckily tyre shop was near and I slowly drove there at 20km/hr.

Then 1 month ago, caught a nail but didn't know. Parked overnight and whole tyre flat the next day which is a Sun. Really bad luck too as tyre shops are closed.

have to get them to come to you, if you dont want to do anything. best if you are near a tire shop. then maybe they can send a van over.  I know ALTC has a truck which can change the tire on the spot. but not sure if you are "forced" to buy their tourador.

Date code indicates the tyres are manufactured in week 12 of 2018. Due for a change I suppose, as the age could have contributed to the weakened sidewall.

Ok. went to tyre shop to change yesterday.

Shop boss gave me 4 x CPC6 195/65/15 at 115/pc (that size i also dunno what's a good tyre since my own F1A5 the shop said don't have that size). $50 for the onsite service of changing to a spare for me.

Ok, no need to care about tyres until 2026 liao.
