My poor Sally has a nail in her foot.
I mean she's got a nail in one of her tires.
The tire may be leaking but I kept the nail in for now.
What's the correct air pressure (PSI) for the stock Perrellis on 05 GTs?

False:
PUNCTURE REPAIR LIMITS
TIRE SPEED MAX. NUMBER MAX. REPAIR
SYMBOL REPAIRS DIAMETER
130 mph and over 1 1/4 in. (6mm)
(H, V, Z)
Edit: ok when I hit post my columns arent lining up!
Basically says 1 repair is allowed before tire loses speed rating.
But you can get different answers from different manufactors.
Plug/Patch from inside should be fine. I dont think you would be driving a speed of 130 mph for a sustained period of time anyway.
That would be my only concern.

I had a screw in the shoulder, no one would fix it. Prior on another vehicle I had a nail in the tread, plugged it myself and still holding up just fine.
I went ahead and replaced my tires and rims before I had anticipated, shame to buy another $100.00+ tire then 4 new ones in 6 months when I had planned to upgrade anyway.

Ok, i got it patched. But, unfortunately, the puncture was near the sides so it might still leak in which case I'd have to buy a new tire - we'll see.

BTW, a proper repair consists of both a patch and a plug, either by itself does not effectively repair the tire.

My puncture was just outside the repairable area shown in the picture above.
I'll monitor the air pressure and if it still leaks, I guess it's another Perrelli
Let me guess, $200?
