3/ Quite frankly cannot remember last time the wheels needed tracking, see 1, but generally the I walked pass car I often glance, and would soon notice tracking out.

Just you checking the pressure regulaly does not mean you will find a nail or screw in it anyhow, I tend to notice things like that when you just glance at them.
I think you and I just have very different approaches to tyre care. I wouldn’t repair a tyre by using a bigger screw......
