One of the fearful things for me when it comes to driving is to have a punctured tyre. My Isis got a screw nail stuck inside one of it's rear wheel. I didn't notice it until I wind down the window on 1 of the occasions where I could hear a constant 'tin' sound coming from the back, while I was sending my friends back home after a basket ball game. It shows how well the sound insulation developed by Toyota that you couldn't even hear such sound.
It was a very long nail. In my past experience, while I was driving my ex-fiancee's Proton Wira and the Peugeot 405, I have to change a pair of tyre whenever there was a punctured tyre either front or rear, because the tyre will always be damaged beyond repair. Thank God for this one because I noticed it early, so all I need to do is to patch it.
I brought it to Lim Tayar located outside of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail. They gave a pretty good service there. The patching plus the alignments cost me about RM 100.00 after discount with Jusco card.
Now, Isis comes with a 'doughnut' half-size spare tyre. Although it was smaller, but yet it still able to let you drive from point a to point b without problem. But, I wouldn't dare to drive faster while my Isis is fixed with this wheel, although I heard that there are people who drive 120KM/h on the KL-Seremban highway, in a Toyota Harrier, with 1 rear tyre replaced with a 'doughnut' tyre.
