Got my first puncture in 18 years driving today,just when Ive decided to replace them.We were heading out to the Keep river this morning and there is a section thats real bony about 5kms long.After about the first km I strarted thinking maybe I should drop pressure's abit but decided seeing as we were only doing 75 she'd be right.Just crossed the NT/WA border when the bony bit stopped and we were on black soil when vehicle felt funny,hopped out to see tyre nearly flat.Stuck 9 plugs in tyre but still leaking so decided to turn around and head back to Kununurra.Had a spare but remembered that we now had alloys on and didnt know if nuts would fit(as it turns out they do),great time to find out.Made it back to home safetly,had tp inflate tyre from about 20psi three times on way back.Now Im in a real hurry to order my MTR'S.
