Came out of work tonight to find one of my tyres almost flat. It seemed to be a slow puncture, couldn't see any signs of damage.

Luckily, a friend of mind had a compressor in his boot, so we were able to pump it back up and I was able to get home. But, by the time I got home it was very low again. So clearly a bit more than just a slow puncture!

I'm getting Tyrefitdirect ( http://www.tyrefitdirect.co.uk/ ) to come out tomorrow and fit a new tyre... just wondered if anyone here has used them? Are they any good?

If its just a puncture it could easily be mended possibly...

Funnily enough the same thing's just happened on our Volvo... some klutz (probably me) has driven over a screw which managed to embed itself into the tread quite nicely, but not nice enough to avoid the slow puncture.

Ended up paying the equivalent of £20 for a plug repair. Half a ditchfinder, granted, but since it was a nearly-new Pilot Sport 3 thought it the way to go.
