Noticed that my pica front tyre had inflated faster than usual, decided to pop by Stamford tyre to pump nitrogen in my tyre . Mechanic pump and mentioned that my front tyres which is less than 5 mths is punctured by a screw at the center of The wheelbase thread. He did a Foc plug and add a thin piece of rubber in between the hole. After removing the screw.
Was quite upset as it was new tyres and had punctured by a screw.
Need advise on several items:
1. Will plugging the rubber at the hole will cause my tyre which is new and less than 8k mileage to be inflated again due to leak ?
2. Is there ways to fully seal it ?
3. What should I take note since now is been patch?
4. Monitoring it more frequently ?
5. Should I do my first rotation earlier due to patching ?
6. Will I need to spend on new tyre this early?
Need advise please..

1. 2. Another method is to patch like bicycle inner tube, from inside. Both can do. 3. Take note. After 3 patches (of any method) tyre start losing its original strength. Do not race/speed with it. 4. 5. No. 6. No. 7. Do not mix station air with nitrogen. in case air leak and nitrogen not avail, let go all air, replace with gas station air. Go back stamford if you want nitrogen again.

If the tyres are professionally patched, it will last well like any ordinary tyres. Don't scare yourself.
