Symptoms of tyre puncture in tubeless tyres

@sdp1975: you can get a mushroom puncture repair done for that old leaky puncture if needed.
It costs 300 in Gurgaon (ordinary puncture repair is 50 for reference)
The mushroom puncture is costly but saves you from buying a new tyre.

@wildsdi5530: get the valve inspected thoroughly. There may be minor cracks where it joins the rim. Replace the valve to eliminate any possibility of leak.
Sometimes, removing the tyre off rim, cleaning the rim n tyre, refitting them back properly would also eliminate leaks.
Be careful that tyre guy marks the rim n tyre position with a marker so that the same position can be matched - else you may need to get balancing done.

Does a regular puncture cost 200 to fix now ?

Am a bit surprised ..
Wife's car had one, and had asked her to get it fixed at a reputed shop in the city. Was expecting 150/-.

(Small towns, it is still a 100 - even with removing the wheel to fix the leak. .. this was when the Storme's wheel had a size 7 bolt sitting nicely and tight in the rear wheel)
