well bro.. keep checking maybe once a week or two week..put some water or soap water to see if bubbleds pop out.....

 

also to note.... which part has nail in it...

if the nail hit the area where there is a thicker thread (where that areas touches the ground when riding)... it shouls be ok..

if the nail hits the area , the lower section of the ttire... just haf to check... if no air comes out.. then it should be ok.. just check when u r washing bike or least once a month....

If my tyres are very new, i will patch.

If they are very old, i will change.

i am not that rich to change tyres every few months. One good pair of S4 tyres cost about $300 leh!!!

In my 3 yrs of riding, i have kena punctured twice liaoz. Once in the rear wheel, once in the front wheel.

Anyway, i dun play corner or track, so patched tyres should be ok for me

I guess most of us average Joes will just patch and use. So long as it's not a total goner, big tear.

Rode 5 years, patched 3-4 times. Still ok lah.
