How Do You Fix A Slow Leaking Car Tire?
In this article, you will learn a simple and effective way to fix a slow leaking car tire that is leaking due to a bent rim. Step 1 Inspect the car tire to be sure the slow leak is not caused by a puncture from a nail or some other sharp object. Step 2 If possible, examine the inner side of the car tire to see if the rim is bent or warped. (This can happen from hitting deep pot holes or small curbs). Step 3 If the rim is bent, it won’t seal with the tire properly and air may be slowly escaping. Go to a local station that offers a free air compressor or use your own if you have one. Check the recommended psi your tire can hold and overinflate the tire by 10 psi. Verify the psi level with a tire gauge. If the rim is only slightly bent, this will seal the tire to the rim. Step 4 Monitor the tire daily for several weeks and watch for a loss of air. This will fix your slow leak, and save you from having to purchase a new rim for your tire.
