[Help]TOO MANY PUNCTURES. Don't know what to do

[margallar]

this reminds me of the episode of knight rider where the mechanic tries to puncture the tyre

Bro do small thing change the roads u used to go back home or come office if possible if some one cant reach ur car surely he can reach the way u pass most likely nails and stuff like that.... check ur lane/street for nails and ur office parking place losers always rocks..

From the replies, I can see that the puncture guy is a ******* thug :@ and i am totally an ******* for not thinking about going to any other puncture shop even for once.

PSO cavalry pump is quite far from my place to go just to get the punctures checked. Is there any other reliable shop in defence?

you can buy the needle and thread type repair kit in pakistan for about Rs 200/-

plug and patch repair requires dismounting of the tire.

The needles thread is a fail with me at least, they tend to leak pretty soon or the puncture guy makes they hole bigger damaging the tire, The only solution is to get is dismantled, Patch it, and wheel balance again, or drive by getting air every week.

True. I love the way they patch the tires using that heated mold which makes sure the patch is properly urrm glued

its been 2 months since I bought Civic VTI MT. it has Bridgestone Sneaker SNK2/SNK2AZ 195/65R15 91S.

The problem is, in these 2 months, i have had like 80 punctures altogether on all 4 tyres on different occasions. I am not a rash drive. Although i tend to drive at fast speed in 1 out of 5 drives. The car is driven around 1700KM in 2 months and all inside city. I live in DHA so you can have an idea about the roads. But have driven outside DHA as well.

I have spent like 4-5000rs only on punctures in these 2 months. Just today I had 14 punctures on one tyre. A month ago, in first week of january, I got the tyres checked from the tyre/puncture shop and 1 tyre had 6, 1 had 9 and 1 had 11 punctures at that time. Its been going on from first week. After every 5 to 7 days I go to the tyre shop to get the air pressure checked and turns out that one of the tyres is puncture and when they check the puncture, turns out it has like 7-10 of it on 1 tyre.

Please help me what is wrong here? is it the design of the tyres or what?

Dunlop sneakers, That too made in China, These are definetly not the tires sold in Pakistan, Dunlops are usually made in Japan/Indonesia, These seem scrap tires, The guy who sold you the car either replaced tires to make it look good, or removed good condition tires.

Filhal the best option would be to opt for new tires, Or atleast try changing the punture shop you goto.

well, Desi term yes

Would hate to have a BMW in Pakistan with their puncture free tires though... replacement would cost a bomb and it ain't easy to get them I suppose hehe.

Run-flats are getting common, But that currently doesn't seems feasible in Pakistan, Currently bullet proof cars are also using such i guess. But the kinds of roads/Surfaces we drive on usually no tire can stand specially the soft tires, They get punctured even more easily. (No wonder Generals last longer then basic Dunlop tires).

When ever theirs a big hole in the middle of the road, They bring scrap concreate or scrap building material and fill it up thoose, Ive been a victim of a cat eye having a loose screw/needle and the tire busted bhooom

My uncle came 3 times to pick me up from Lahore airport, same car same tires. My flight used to arrive 6 am in the morning. Just before leaving airport, at least 1 tire used to lose it's air lol, no shop was open at that time as well. And once I drove to Lahore on a rented santro with a bubble in the tire, as soon as i returned to Faisalabad, all the air released

Should we get needle and thread type pucture repair or Dismount and patch it.
Which one is better?
