    Is it the BYD Seal?

    Also, damn screw. I haven’t gotten a flat tyre from a screw before, only from potholes. That one went off with a bang.

      Yeah, the car that only drives on flat bitumen road to like shops and stuff… Well, except our driveway which is currently mud central. Looks like those redneck pools of mud they drive 4x4s through all day.

      Meanwhile the vans go in to industrial sites, gutter hop a heap, and generally get driven with zero care for where the rubber is going and… actually get punctures at least once a year lol.

      Originally I pulled the tyre off to get it fixed, but decided to do a temporary fix by… screwing in a larger screw! It’s reduced the leak to practically nothing so we’ll just pump it back up tomorrow morning and drive it to the tyre shop. Currently gone from 48psi to 45psi over 5 hours or so. Normally run it at 42psi.
