Flat tire - twice

[RacecaR]

I went out to go to work the other day and the front passenger-side tire was flat. I got it fixed and three days later it went flat again. There wasn't any obvious hole. Ended up having to buy a brand new one! Argh.

Sometimes it isn't a hole but a bad seal on the tire itself. Any good tire place should be able to test it and find out where the leak is.

I had a similar issue a couple years back. I ended up getting 2 flat tires in 2 or 3 days and I didn't even drive it all that much. Ended up replacing it and no more problems. I guess it was just a bad seal.

That sucks! I have had it happen to me too. I used the junk that you put in the tire too and it did not work. I'm glad you got a new tire, you never know when the old one would go flat.

The place I buy my tires has a lifetime warranty on their tires. If it goes bad for any reason, they will replace it. Kind of gives you peace of mind.

Sometimes brand new tires are the best way to go. I have a place I use that does pull-offs and most of the time they are good tires. Even then, sometimes they just are old.

MaximumSpeed, I agree. I really only go for brand new tires now after having some bad experiences with used tires. Even if they look okay, you have to be careful.
