Tyre puncture

[Gnahp]

if you see the shop also sell wheels, you can expect

- boss, your rim is warp/crack/out of round

if you see the shop also sell used tyres, you can expect

- boss, both/4 tyres must replace as a pair/set, otherwise not balance

if you see the shop also got alignment machine, you can expect

- boss, your tyres eat one side, need to do alignment 

if you see the shop got BBK brake caliper/disc in display, you can expect

- boss, the vibration is not from the wheel, your brake disc warp already/brake pads uneven wear

Anyone knows a tyre shop that can do the submersion method?

One of my tyre is leaking air but there's no visible puncture or foreign object. I went to a Stamford Tyres outlet and  they couldn't find the leak either. The tech told me need to submerge the whole wheel+tyre but they don't have such facilities.

Dun need submerge whole tyre.  Just 1 section. And they rotate the tyre enough...

it is a tyre shop, it doesn't make sense

this is like clinic telling you that they know you have fever but they don't have a thermometer in the clinic to measure your temperature

other clinic maybe have, but we don't have...

Thanks all for the recs and inputs. Stamford is near my office, although I don't particularly like going there, went there out of convenience. Hopefully the next place I go to (TBD) will have a pail of water or something.

Go to  5 Defu Lane 10, #01-566, Singapore 539186 , Hup Soon Seng, they have a tub that can submerge the wheel.  No need to mention my name, there will be no discount🤣
