I may be think, but heres my question as i dont know the answer.
I have a slow puncture, or somewhere where air is escaping - soooo, can a normal tyre shop fix slow punctures? Is there a way ? :confused:
Fucking Brand new Mitchelin PS2 aswell :mad:
Last time, i put 34psi in it up London last week (that meet) then drove it back home, left it on the drive for a week as i havent driven it, finally today its pancake flat! POO!!!

Get it done quick or it'll ruin the tyre, one of my tyres on the R8 got one, i drove it for a bit cos i didnt have time, just quickly filled up air when the light came on... but i had to put a new tyre on cos the tyre was driven slghtly un-inflated and couldn't be repaired!
Any decent tyre shop (that does not include kwik fit) should be able to repair it as long as the offending hole isn't in the sidewall. Stick you spacesaver on for the weekend :D

Spacesaver???? M5 dont have a Space saver unfortunatley - so looks like the pumps will be out tomorrow, or next week, when ever i can be bothered to even get in it again lol.
Thanks for the advice guys.

sometimes a buckled wheel could also cause slow air leak. if they dont find puncture on the tyre get ur wheel checked out also

if you are lucky it's the valve. if you're unlucky it's the side wall meaning you have to replace the tyre. if you're really unlucky the alloy is leaking somewhere (can happen more on split rim seals).
