Hey, I have not been around the forum in a while...been so busy...anyway I drive my sc430 into the city alot and a month or so ago I parked my car in a garage and when I got out the tire pressure signal went off..Long story short there was a nail in one of the tires I must of or the valet drove over...the tire was bad...i barely made it to a little gas station in the city which are hard to find and he pluged the whole...ofcourse i got ripped and he didn't do a good job but i was told it would last.... I drove it for a couple weeks no prob...Anyway since then I have not driven my car in 2 weeks are so it has been sitting on LI and when I go for a drive last weekend the tire pressure went off and i went to check the pressure and it was the tire that was plugged...I filled it up and so far so good but I am curious as to why that tire went low before the rest and is it because of the plug.....What should I do with the tire? Keep it? replace it? maybe try a different patch method?

Thanks for all your advice!

The proper way to mend a tire is to patch it. I got a nail a couple months ago & my Lexus dealer patched it for me under warranty.

i had one of my tires pluged.. when i took it to the dealer and asked them to look at it.. they replaced my tire and charged me $460

If your tire indicator light is flashing and tire pressure below 12 psi then you will have to replace a new tire. On the other hand, tire indicator is on and pressure above 12 psi you can go ahead and patch it.

I had a plug put in my Bridgestone and it held for 20K miles.

I guess I will leave it for now...I am do for the 5,000 mile check up anyway I will ask them there...Thanks for all the suggestions..
