I've got two slow punctures in the front, one's a bit of stick ramed up the edge of the tyre and the other side :nenau
I just pump them up every week :D

i've know vlaves start leakiing air, especially if they've been left cap less and then you end up blowing some dirt in there when you pump them up. Or if the car has been standing for a long time. You can unscrew the valve core with the right tool and stick a new one in, it's free (ish) and worth a try.
hmm...well, the tyres are still like new, and i havent had chance to check for any nails or anything yet, but id be surprised considering the size of the tread.
i aint forking out for new tyres.
tyre seal, halfords i should think, did my ride -on mower a treat.

If the tyres are new I'd get the tyre fitters to reseal them on the rims :D

where did you get the tyres fitted ? some come with puncture repair included now.
just my regular mechanic did it but i dont use him anymore...im going to monitor it, if it gets worse, ill take it down the road for re sealing...
it will only be a fiver to fix it
The wifes car had a flat once. Earlier that day we drove over farmer's hedge clippings down a country lane, I said that we will probably end up with a puncture..:nenau
Why did I open my mouth? :doh
Any way,I pumped it up and it was Ok. it didn't deflate as we didn't park it on the same spot, or it had sealed itself !
It was garaged so no access by the gremlins...
Anyway we replaced the tyre 2 months later any way.
