$50 for internal patch is 100% Robert!!!!!🤣

pray tell which tire shop so that I can avoid!!!

If a small tire size I think I rather change to a new tire. 

His is low profile. 

Very hard to remove and install back. 

Plus rebalancing.

I ownself requested for internal patch 😅

I will only do worm type repair if the tyre is near to the end of life

those worm type repair is 50/50 based on my past experiences, half of the time it will still leak a little

not good for OCD people like me, will make me busy adjusting the tyre pressure every week until I change tyres

the trick is not enlarging the hole too big with the round file, keep it as small as possible but that will make the worm insertion very difficult

last puncture repair I DIY, pushed the worm until I big small ball

but it seals perfectly until I change tyre

 

 

This tyre can retire already. It's clearly almost touching the mark.

I just checked my record

I changed the rear tyres after driving for another 3,000km

when the inner TWI (tread wear indicator) starting to touch the road
