I recently sold my carbon fiber wheels and purchased GT3 wheels for my '19 Turbo. If the CF was a black weave I would have kept the CF wheels, however, I wasn't fond of their look. Decided to go with the GT3 wheels.
What would you do?
this is on my 991.2 turbo S, last week, I saw the drivers side rear tire had a warning, as I drive the car once a week.
tire pressure was 28.
So i went and filled with air, today, i checked, and now the pressure is at 32
I removed the wheel and inspected it and found this:
Should i get a patch or should I replace it
the tire has under 5000 miles
But I will take the car up to speeds exceeding 135
Have you confirmed it is the leak, maybe spray a little soapy water or windex on it, see if it bubbles.
I've had things look like that in tires but they weren't actually leaking.
Just curious.
If it is an actual puncture thru the belt, it could come apart at high rotational speeds and bubble underneath the tread.
Had it happen to me after I had a tire repaired with a plug, it just took one run up to 120mph or so and the belts ruptured and bubbled underneath the tread.

Especially because you like spirited driving at high speed, there is no way I would take chances with my life by trying to fix a puncture like that. What *I would do* is replace both left and right tires immediately and never look back.
