    Do you have your tyres inflated correctly?

    If it's just a slow puncture I'd have it plugged.

    Puncture repair instead of new tire?

    Its one of these low profile tyres.

    Think I might upgrade all four to bigger ones that can handle the odd pot hole.

    What tyre dealers seem to have the best prices these days??

    Can you do that with with all types of tyres? Mine are low profile (not the lowest of the low now).

    But would it last by doing this?

    All garages do it?

    Be careful with that. You might end with a badly / worst calibrated speedo and the handling might also be effected

    I probably titled this thread wrongly!

    I got the tyre replaced (slit in side wall). I asked your man in the garage what I should be inflating the tyres to. He said 30. I always inflated them to between 40 - 45 because on the tyre it says 44 max.

    So I think I may have solved my tyre problem :D
    (If only I knew before, I'd have saved myself about €300:mad:)
