Stupid question, slow puncture, worth repairing?

[TedMaul]

Think I have slow puncture, inflate tyre to 30psi, within a week its down to below 20 again, been going on for a month or so. Just looked at it and flat as a pancake. Tyres less than a year, 5k miles and dont fancy shelling out £130 for a new one.

Never had a tyre repaired at all, is it worth the agg or just man up to the bill?

Just go to a proper tyre shop and get it fixed.. stop being so tight.

No issue with a proper tyre shop at all, well, Kiwk fit is the only place locally. Just asking whether its worth getting it fixed (I can't find any obvious reason for the puncture I should add, maybe dodgy valve) If I end up leaving the car there an hour an dthey dont find anything wrong, it'd be easier to say fk it and get a mobile fitting and save the agg (time is not my friend this week and I really need the car) typical!

All sound advice. Car is 05My v70, 100k on the clock. Offside front down to 14psi from 32 10 days ago, odd thing is nearside looked ok (in comparison) and that was down to 17....

Car not heavily loaded recently, tyres fitted at same time so maybe poor quality valves or poor seal. I'll take it in Monday, only local trips until then.

Thanks all
