Just leave it in and drive to a servo, buy a tyre repair kit and plug it at the servo so you can use the air if need be. I had never done it before and it only took me 5 or so mins.

Checked if its leaking? You may want to pop your space saver on in the mean time 'depending on existing rim size difference', as for one you're going to have to take it off to be repaired/possibly replaced anyway, and two nothing worse then waking up to a flat tyre first thing in the morning.

Pretty much ANY Tyre shop can do it for you.

go to servo & buy this:


its so frikkin easy, don't even need to jack the car, the gas from the can inflates the tyre, drive right after you've done it so the shit seals the tyre properly

probably a good idea to leave a can in your boot if you dont have a spare

its not leaking as far as i can tell, must be a small screw and since theyre pretty much new tyres there's heaps of tread so it looks like it didnt go in deep. went to a caltex otw home but they didnt sell anything like that can?
