    A quick repair from the Dunlop Center(not in m. manila)

    Nail head was severed off, sharp end was left and it was in the middle tread. 20psi this morning. At first the guy was saying no bubbles including the tyre valve. So I told him to increase the tyre pressure. Lo and behold really small bubbles were super slowly forming.

    1. scuff surface and clean off inside aka prep surface
    2. tyre glue, and let it dry
    3. set patch
    4. roller out air

    wala yan bro normal yang ganyan kapag on a monthly basis lahat sila pamtay magbawas.

    ang hint sa ganyan para malaman mo kung alin yung may maliit na leak is kung alin yung may pinaka malaki usually 4psi and up difference ang bawas sa hangin once nag refill ka

    pwede na rin palitan yung pito mo if you want given that reason or kasabay ng pagpalit ng gulong.

    try mo kaya muna lagi dumiretso sa air pumps ng gas station everytime after mo magpa gas up? makakakuha ka ng baseline kung may leak nga

    Make sure to change tire valves at least every 3 years or when you change to new tires..

    Bring your own gauge. Halos lahat ng mga station, off yung PSI reading nila.

    I think losing 1-2 PSI a month on a tire is fine... bugbog sarado kasi mga yan sa mga kalye nating bulok.

    yun mga digitial inflators sa gas stations, the sensor is away from the hose. I think most are ok.

    BTW, OT ito pero share ko lang yung napanood ko kanina.

    Mga sira-ulo, gumawa ng gulong sa duct tape:
    We Made A TIRE Out Of Duct Tape - YouTube

    Then di pa nakuntento, gumawa din out of rubber bands...
    We Tried RUBBER BAND Tires - YouTube


    Tumakbo naman! although yung 2nd, sigurado deformed yung rim/magwheels mo diyan pag tagal.

    it's rare to find a competent tire tech they jack your car at the wrong points. they don't allow enough time for rubber cement to dry. they don't use bead lubricant. their gauges are incorrect. they scratch your rims. they over-torque your lug nuts.

    Who uses rubber cement for tire puncture?

    AFAIK, there is a reason it is called "vulcanize". No adhesives needed because the vulcanization process is a chemical reaction thing.

    vulcanization, from the god of fire vulcan. needless to say lots of heat and sulfur etc. turns natural rubber etc into tires that don't melt into a gloopy mess

    when you get a puncture you don't do this process again. you just stick on a patch. see youtube. you really don't wanna heat up a tire to patch it
