flat tyre...pls advise

(1/2) > >>

foofam77:
i have clocked 33K..been using toyo stock tyres since day 1.

earlier on, had a immediate flat rear tyre...removed the tyre and realised the culprit to be a huge nail...

kinda worried now that it cannot be patched..as such donoe what's install for me when i drive ard to look at a tyre workshop tomorrow...

questions:

1) any reputable tyre shops ard sengkang/hougang area?

2) if i need to change a new tyre, shd i just change one, the 2 rears or all the 4 tyres?
   =>  if i just change the flat, would it lead to any problem like tyres unbalancing etc?

3) i am only looking for an average toyo-like tyres...need not those high performance ones...roughly how much would an average-performance tyre cost and what's the brand?  i dont want to be "cut robert" by the workshop due to my ignorance...

4) i am gng for my TCM servicing in 2 weeks time, and due to this incident earlier on, i will surely ask them to check for wheel alignment...

thanks

clarence:
1. Tyre patch up should be enough. About $10 to $15, depending whether it is an external tyre or inside patch job

2. Better to change 2 rear tyres if you want to change. OR you can just buy 1 Toyo J50 and use the spare tyre for the other rear wheel, since it is still new.

3. You can get Toyo J50 185/54R15 from Yap Brothers at Paya Ubi at $90 nett each.

4. Wheel alignment is applicable only for front wheels for Latio.

iwilly:
33k km tyre is not still new, about time to change already.

Typically, you suppose to change your tyre when you hit 40k..... :smile:
