Yesterday evening after parking, noticed my left rear tire got a screw embedded into my tyre. I'm not sure how long the screw is there. There seem to be a hole le.. However, it seems like its still getting on fine le.. Doesn't seem to have any loss of air.. Any course for concern? Must go tyre shop to check or patch? or worst, change a new one? Just go to any tyre shop to have it removed & patched,abt $10 or lesser. Ignoring it is not advisable,as the foreign object will go in deeper over time, and u start losing a significant amount of air faster than the other 3 tyres. Biscuit, i've removed it le.. but will still go to tyre shop and patch or repair.. Not necessary to change right? cause the hole probalbly less than 0.5mm

At most,patching will do,no need to change tyre lah..

depends on how the patching goes, and do those cheap patching from the exterior for $5-10 or do the internal patching for $10-$20. I just did an internal patching for $20 at this sumitomo tyres in woodlands. Their pricing not cheap.
Anyway, for me, price of tires is very important. Value for money is my first priority, that's why i got the car in the first place. If the price remains, i will still stick to ze912.

Wet and dry speed or cornering at 100km is not a problem. Ever tired 150km in malaysia highway, also very quiet. Singapore tried 130km, also very quiet. Happy happy.

bro, u probably will not get a correct answer coz it said again: it depend on your right foot.... n no all cars/engine/mod/weight/rims/tyres/road travel/habits ...etc etc etc are the same.....so u will never a correct answer for tis question. "some said no affect,, wonder any different of performance as compare to 15'. more quiet? stable? more chio?" - sure got affect, more or less... how good or bad, no one know till u try..coz ur car is diff from us. in terms of performance, for sure its beta grip...than 15" tyres. quietness of tyres most of time depend on the quality of tyres, dun think its decide by the tyres size...but for sure, the grip for bigger tyres is GOOD. MORE STABLE TOO. MORE CHIO? - think is your rims that plays the most part in this part. this is my own opinion for your consideration. but our 1.4A rio... 195/55/15 is MORE THAN ENUFF le... really no need 16" unless rich man son or u really NEED that kind of grip for daily driving, some more u mentioned traffic jam every day... need so big for wat? drifting along the jam

i've seen your rims/tyres... i think its good enuff for u le.
my best bet is: change beta brake pads (like Mintex) & upgrade to a better tyres like RE001/toyo T1R will probably make up for the grip of 16" tyres... n i think this way, its cheaper n maybe more fc saving since its still a 15".... but right foot is impt.
if in ur mind, u are always bothering abt fc... then suggest dun change to 16"...play the safe bet.
