More money.... . So over the last month or so I've been losing air out of the right rear tyre. No screws or nails are visible in the tyre. It drops about 0.5 bar in a week or so. (2.2 to 1.7) I took it in to have it sorted and the guy found what he thought was the offending hole and put a plug in it.
Anyway, 2 weeks later and the puncture persists so I took it elsewhere to be sorted. I watched the guy use spray bottle with soap to diagnose where the problem was. Turns out there is no hole but rather the air is leaking out in multiple places just up from where the rim meets the tyre on the inside of the wheel.
So it appears that the tyre is past is sell by date.... Looks like the original tyre that the car was sold with which is a conti sport 3 manufactured in 2012.
I can't say I've had this happen to me before. Anyway, he had no stock so he's ordered in some uniroyal rain sport 3s for me. 160 per corner....
