Not necessarily naman kailangan na complete. As I've said, ayaw ko lang nung de kalso na pagtanggal ng gulong - malamang gasgas o pingas ang aabutin ng mags. So basta may tire changing machine para protected ang mags. Then mas preferred ko nga ang patch kaysa pasak. Sa experience ko kung pasak lang ang available itinatanong naman muna sa kostumer kung okay lang na pasak ang gagawin. Mas marami talaga siguro ang mas preferred ang patch kaya yun ang hinahanap sa kanila. Personally, I've had much better experience with patches than plugs.

If pa change ko ng patch yun spot ay malaki na hole, and the more tendency mag rust inside the belt. So dapat maka hanap ako a shop who can do combination patch/plug. Question is. Is there anyone in metro manila who can do the combination patch/plug thing? Or wala talaga?

If meron lang isa sana may ganyan and meron pa tire changing machine. Pinaka ok na shop ito? Wala kahit isa meron ganyan?

Kung wala ako mahanap. I have to spend 11,000 pesos x 2 or 22k to get 2 new tires and put at rear. But puwede ba new ang tires sa rear and old sa front? Ayoko spent 44k to replace all.
Worrisome lang din talaga yung ginawa sa gulong mo na nilagyan ng oil instead na glue. Or kahit na nilagyan ng glue pero nilagyan ng oil di ba counterproductive yun? Maybe just have it patched na lang din if you can still pinpoint the location nung pasak. Kasi kung tatanggalin pa yun lalaki na masyado ang butas. The patch over the plug is just added protection para di sumingaw dun sa existing plugged hole. This could be the cause na magkabukol later sa tapat na yun, but I think this will take a while to happen. You will have extended your tire change to maybe six months to a year. Just remember that you can't safely use these tires for high speed long distance travel.
