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

I just pump them up every week

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.
