Tyre Patch Repair

**StockEngine** · July 11th, 2018 09:01 PM

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.
