My left rear wheel hit the sidewalks the other day when I exited out Armada hotel PJ. The turning is as tight as hell. When I got back I checked the rear wheel. Feck. All scuffed up around the diameter of rims. I thought no problem, I can get it fix by having it sprayed and so.A week later, something came up, tire pressure loss. I thought something was wrong with the system, and so I resetted the tire pressure on iDrive. Few days later, the warning came up again this morning.The tyres seemed fine however I started to lose traction when driving fast.Went to the petrol station to pump air. Then I realize the scuffed rear wheel was almost flat? However I put air in, and it is fine for now.What should I do? wait till the tire losses pressure again to make sure that something is wrong. Or should I send it straight to SC?Damn, one after another.

Called Quill 9 this morning. They explained when it comes to tyre they only do replacing services.

So I went to a tyre shop in Oug, near to Oug Plaza, Art Car Auto Sdn Bhd. The boss himself fixed it. Took off the tyre tested it and patched it. Simple as 1 2 3.

I was worried the tyred went flat due to the incident I had a week ago. Apparently we found a screw deeply attached to the tyre. Conclusion it was either an incident or another sabotage case.
 
If sabotage case, the screw would not have left on the surface of the tyre. The culprit has this "innovative" thingy that make sure the penetration object will not stay on the wheel to inflict maximum decompression of tyre pressure so they will be ready to hit on you not long after leaving the car park.

Armada Hotel eh?!:15::32:

Maybe I was thinking too much, anyway I came to that conclusion because the screw was punctured straight in. With a nail, one cannot hammer into a tire because it will vibrate. However with a screw you can slowly screw it in.

Anyway the repair was well justified at rm5. I thought the Tire shop was going to come up with a bullshit and make me change new tire.

It was interesting to see how the person fixed it, he pull some funny rubber from within the tire and that actually patched up the RFT tyre.

Yes, Armada hotel, I was there for a wedding, a friend's wedding.
