There's a big screw on your left rear tyre!"<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />Walked to my porch like a zombie.. saw the screw stuck there. Took out my trusty cutting plier to remove the screw. Its slightly over 1cm, fully embeded.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> No gushing of air after the remove.. a little relief but still a tiny weeny bit worry. Possibly fully deflated but no RFT alert, so not that worry.Took out my wash bucket, gave her a good wash.. enjoyed a healthy home cook western breakfast, then leave for Tmn Tun morning market to get our weekly supplies to fill our fridge.On the way back, finally decided to drop by Tmn Tun Shell to check my tyre pressure (2nd time pump air myself since owning the car for past 20 months). Checked the B-Pillar label, refer the 17" wheel, under the full load 5 passengers + luggage column. It says 230/280. The 4 passengers without luggage recommendation is 200/230. So I decided to listen to Schwepp's advice to pump it hard! Follow the 5 passenger with luggage recommendation despite usual single occupant. That's 230/280... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Upon refilling, the original pressure was, FL/FR/RL/RR: 195/200/230/225, it was an immediate relief seeing the 230 on my RL tyre.. MEANS NO PUNCTURE!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Forgot to reset RFT sensor though.. too long didn't pump air.. forgot lio... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />Maybe good time to rotate my tyres later in the afternoon since I already 24k km.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />Now expecting my FC to improve since tyre is super hard.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> will use it for a week to see if my butt like the new air pressure.. :wink:</blockquote>
