After leaving PML (Dunearn Rd), I drop by Shell station outside Vanda rd where a tyre shop is there. The uncle said he sells RFT but it's crazy for me to change a new one as mine is only afew days old. He said He had patched many RFT, what's the problem. He is really an honest guy. At last he charged $8 and I gave me $10 and KEEP THE CHANGE MAN !!!!!
Irregardless of whether the patching last, this uncle really earn my respect.

Nightwind;921080 said:Hi same thing happened to me. And i was driving with a flat tyre for awhile. If the tyre is salvagable (i.e. innertube is still intact) a patch job will suffice and it costs only $5/-
But pls take note the tyre is much weakened and is safe for only driving in Singapore where the speed is usually 30-120kph....when i drove to KL and averaged 180-200kph, the same tyre failed and i had a side wall crack and was stranded on the North South highway....
I suppose its ok if you dont drive up north.....just do the patch job for $5/-

qus;921087 said:How flat was yours? Mine, immediately went to petrol station nearby at river valley and pressure was 140. Drove to killiney straight away and got the tire checked out. Hope that did not compromise the tire..
