5myr patch job...n i went back to do a sprint run. finally...left sepang n flew back in 2.5 hours hitting 245kmh. continued to drive for another 1 mth...on those tires no problem..no more warnings no top up nothing.
i say these patches r very effective...IF the puncture is right in the middle. the RFs are strong at the side wall. if u rip the sides that is another story...otherwise i say patch it if its a nail...n life goes on..even at 245kmh..

Thanks a lot bro Totoseow !
I was also told by PML officially to change the tire whenever it is punctured. However, the sales associates did hinted to me that I can repair it if it is nail punctured. So, your experience provided the living proof that we can repair the tyre.
