One of the wheels of my tire won't air won't go in or outI tried driving and couldnt, dk if it's a flat or just needs air, what do I do?

[Desserter4]

I can't drive on it. Put in car category.

[Orion84]

So you can't fill it, but air also isn't coming out?

I'm not sure I understand; does it have air in it, or is it flat? What happens when you try filling it, and what do you see that makes you think it needs air. If it were flat, it would be pretty obvious.

[Desserter4]

I filled it with air weeks ago, it was slowly deflating since snowstorm. I tried driving it, it was too deflated. My inflator wint measure the tire pressure and I don't hear air coming out when I unscrew stem or whatever, so ik air not going in or out

[Orion84]

So it's definitely losing air.

It sounds like it has a leak, or a puncture of some sort. It could be something a simple as a loose valve stem core, or as serious as a bent rim. You may have a nail in it, somewhere.

Your best bet would be to take it to a shop, and have them inspect the tire & wheel. You said in another comment that you don't have a spare, so you'll either need to have the vehicle towed to the shop, or just remove that one wheel, and take it in by itself.

if you are saying that you cannot put air in it then there is a problem with the valve stem and it needs to be replaced.

Thanks for the MHO😎

You should be able to tell if it is flat or not. If you can't get a hold of someone who does. Ask a friend.

[Abbycado]

Sounds like call a tow truck?

[Desserter4]

Yeah but take it where?

[Abbycado]

Guessing tire place. That or if not close then a mechanic.

[Abbycado]

Ty for mho!

[Hagar88]

You need to take the car or just the wheel to a tyre shop and get them to look at it. They might even come out to you.

[Desserter4]

It's fixed, it was a flat and the stem needed replacing

[slatyb]

Mount the spare if you have one, or call for mobile service. If it is repairable but you drive on it flat, it will no longer be repairable. How many miles do you have on it? Does it still have good tread?

[Hagar88]

Thats bad advice. Given his question he has limited knowledge of cars maintenance, would you really trust him to jack up his car, take the wheel off and put the spare on?

[slatyb]

@Hagar88 Probably not. If there even is a spare, the cheap-ass jacks they provide with the car are pretty bad unless you are parked on a level hard surface. Better to just call a repair service.

[Hagar88]

First thing I did with the wife's new car was buy a spare wheel gor her and a decent jack. In the spare wheel well they had nothing but that crap foam shit.

[slatyb]

@Hagar88 What sort of jack did you get? I think they are all pretty useless except a hydraulic floor jack, but those are heavy to carry around. And where did you put the spare? Fewer and fewer cars have space for a spare of any kind.

[Hagar88]

Some cars still have the wheel well but filled with polystyrene with a pump, emergency wheel inflator. I got her a spare for her trunk and a scissor jack which is good enough in a pinch, along with the wheel brace. The spare isn't the same as her alloys which are thicker but good enough to get her home. Of course to be honest the thought of her changing a tyre on a cold wet night is not a nice thought.
I've a hydraulic jack on my truck.

[slatyb]

@Hagar88 A scissors jack may not work for her unless she's rather strong, and the car has to be stopped somewhere there is hard level ground for the jack.

[Hagar88]

A good tip is to carry boards. A scissor jack can be used by anyone regardless of strength.

[slatyb]

@Hagar88 Carry boards -- that is indeed a good idea.

[Spencer10]

Slap on your spare and take it too a tire repair shop. Dont drive on it.

[Desserter4]

I don't have a spare or know how to install one

[Spencer10]

My Dad taught me how to change a spare by the time i was 12. I have to say your lake of knowlege of cars is kinda sad to me.

[Desserter4]

Were you homeschooled, what is that grammar? I am sorry you are uneducated

[In_Trance]

Sounds like operator failure to me. Take it to a professional
