Have had a slow leak on my right rear tire since I installed the winters back in November. It got better & went away thru January & February & now came back to the point where I have to put air in it every second day. So the other day I was walking by it & could hear it bubbling as that tire was in a small puddle. So I reversed & felt around where I could hear the air leaking out, I couldn't see it, but I could feel it with my finger, so I marked it on the sidewall where it roughly was. Today I got around to taking the tire off & found a nail stuck in there, must've been in there for a while & got worn down as I was driving. Pulled the nail out & used my patch kit to patch it, tested it for leaks & it's all good.


^^^ Well done. In my experience these kind of patches work forever, no need to bother a tire shop IMHO.
same, well done mate

Vman, looking forward to that excellent S&S with high quality photos

It’s canvasite blue metallic

Ahh, I see it now.  I like it.  Blue cars are my favorite, I think.

I don't think it is black, I think it is a dark blue.

Yeah I've now patched 3 tires with this kit & have never had an issue with any of the patches not holding.

Wow...must be nice to be so wealthy...look at that house too!!  Call TripleBob - he can make some nice pics for you.

Me...I changed the winter tires at lunch on the "Sonic" - yeah baby  O0 - that's how eye roll...flashy as hell.  No air.  No cruise. No PW.  No FGC.  ;) Same great 4 door hatch back as that wagon.

Last couple of times I used a Slime kit, with black rubber sticks. Which one are you using?

My lord she's a beaut Vman.

Great work on the tire Gurgie. 

Nice work on the Sonic swap BWII.  The Sonic is cool, but not C43 wagon cool.

I thought the turbo Sonic was a neat little car.
